This summer Pogus Caesar, Nicholas Sinclair and Susan Stockwell welcomed us into their studios to tell us how valuable royalties are to their practice.

Pogus Caesar

Artists have rights like everybody else. Being with DACS has allowed me not to think about the business side of licensing, it’s allowed me the freedom to explore my inner-self and the freedom to create more.

Susan Stockwell

For me it’s about respect and recognition. It’s about saying that the artist has a very important role in making the art and in the art world. That needs to be acknowledged and respected.

Nicholas Sinclair, Estate of Sir Kyffin Williams

All the work I do to manage the Estate is funded by Artist’s Resale Right. It brings in a few thousand pounds a year which I usually put straight back into publishing.
