The Blank Gallery

Everything here is free to reprint.

The Blank Gallery sells prints of work whose copyright has expired. No estate, no licence fee, no markup for a signature. 79 works so far, pulled from museums that have released their collections into the public domain and chosen by hand rather than scraped in bulk.

Why the sizes change from print to print

A digitised painting is only as large as the file behind it. We hold each scan to a floor of 150dpi at the size you order, and any size the file cannot carry is greyed out rather than quietly upscaled. On some works that means the largest print is 30 x 40 cm. We would rather show you the ceiling than sell you a soft poster.

Where the work comes from

The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Cleveland Museum of Art, both of which publish open-access collections. Every print page credits the museum that did the digitising. They did the hard part.

What we print on

Museum-grade matte paper, 200gsm, unframed, produced at the facility nearest you so nothing crosses an ocean twice.
