Clip sales

If you are a broadcaster, filmmaker or website editor, you can licence material from our extensive library of footage, much of it (but not in any sense all) arts-related. 

Our archive is particularly strong in material relating to contemporary visual art in Britain, including extensive footage of the work of Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor and many other Turner Prize winners.

We are starting to index this material properly and to organise it so that the metadata can be searched online. But this is going to take us a while, and so to begin with we will in the coming weeks post some further details of highlights of our holdings.

If you have any queries about our holdings and licensing costs, please contact Linda Zuck.
