The Art Institute of Chicago
Image Licensing Form

Welcome to Image Licensing at the Art Institute of Chicago!

Image Licensing is your professional resource for images of art from the encyclopedic collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. Our Imaging Department utilizes premier direct digital capture and reproduction technologies to ensure the highest quality—our images accurately match the full range of tones and colors of the original artwork.

  • Depending on your use, we will provide you with a JPG or TIFF file. If you prefer film, a 4x5 duplicate color transparency may be available for rental (subject to availability).
  • All requests are subject to review and approval. Costs vary and will be determined based on your use, available photography, and preferred delivery method. We will send a quote outlining these costs, followed by a contract that specifies how the image will be used in your project or publication.
  • Advance payment is required—allow a minimum of 2 weeks for processing after submitting the signed contract along with full payment. Requests for 10 or more images may require additional time for processing.
  • Some works in our collection have not been photographed. In these cases, new photography of the work can be arranged pending the approval of the curator. Please allow additional time for this service.
  • We accept payment by credit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover Card), check/money order, or wire transfer.
  • We ship all orders standard U.S. Mail in flat, cardboard packs, unless otherwise specified. To arrange service with an alternate courier, please provide your account number when submitting your request.
  • Please note that the images available through this site represent only a fraction of the Art Institute's collection. If you cannot find an image of a work, please contact us.
