About Artist Talk

Our inaugural issue was published both digitally and in print in July 2017. Since then every artist has a story to share. We consider them all fantastic, however our most notable articles have been the following: Courtauld Institute of Art, The Royal Academy of Arts, Porsche, K11 Musea, Whitney Museum of American Art (This featured a range of the great American painters such as Roy Lichtenstein), The Painted Hall Old Royal Naval College, Lucian Freud, Alberto Giacometti, Peter Lindbergh, William Kentridge, Louvre Abu Dhabi, Museo Picasso Malaga, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Zeitz MOCAA, Paul Cézanne Jaquet Droz and the MET.

Our publication showcases artwork from various corners of the globe. Additionally, we have had the privilege of curating exceptional digital exhibitions at renowned global landmarks such as Times Square in New York, Piccadilly Circus in London, Oxford Street, and Leicester Square.

How to use the British Library

We're a bit different to your local library. We house the national collection, with many unique items. You can't take books home, but you can use our Reading Rooms in London and Yorkshire for personal study and to access our collection. All you need is a free Reader Pass.

You can also use our public spaces in London for personal study, but you can only consult collection items in our Reading Rooms. Some rooms have a special focus, where you consult a particular type of material, others are more general reading areas. All of them have comfy seats, free Wi-Fi, and staff you can ask for advice.ps://explore.bl.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do

How to request collection items

You can request items using the online form both in the Reading Rooms and remotely using your own device.

You will need a Reader Pass which has been issued or renewed since 21 March 2024 to request items online. If you have a Reader Pass which was issued before this date you will need to visit the Library in London or Yorkshire to renew your pass before you can request items online. This is because the systems have changed following a cyber-attack in October 2023.

Legal deposit requires publishers to provide a copy of every work they publish in the UK to the British Library. It's existed in English law since 1662. Since 2013, legal deposit regulations have expanded to include digital as well as print publications.

Deposited publications are made available to users of the deposit libraries on their premises, are preserved for the benefit of future generations, and become part of the nation’s heritage.

Publications are recorded in the online catalogues, and become an essential research resource for generations to come.

Most of the books and new serial titles are listed in the British National Bibliography (BNB), which is used by librarians and the book trade for stock selection. The BNB is available in a variety of formats.

Publishers have at times approached the deposit libraries for copies of their own publications which they no longer have but which have been preserved through legal deposit.

Legal deposit supports a cycle of knowledge, whereby deposited works provide inspiration and source material for new books that will eventually achieve publication.
