Whether you will be asked to grant the rights to reproduce your original artwork within a gallery or museum catalogue, or on the cover of a work of fiction, it is crucial that you understand copyright and licensing rights. Ms. Swanson will provide an overview of these topics; discuss rates and terms, should you agree to grant permission; and provide handouts with valuable resources.
Mary Virginia Swanson is a leader in the fields of marketing and licensing fine art photography. After receiving an MFA in photography from Arizona State University she served as workshop coordinator for The Friends of Photography, was the founding director of the American Photography Institute at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, and headed Special Projects for Magnum Photos. It was during her tenure at Magnum that she recognized the opportunities for artists to develop second markets for their work, and in 1991 she founded Swanstock, an alternative agency managing licensing rights for fine art photographers.
