Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
Opportunity Snapshot
Pay: $55 to $100 per hour
Location: Fully remote, worldwide
You’ll need: Professional experience curating, acquiring, cataloguing or attributing art or photography for a museum, gallery, auction house, archive or collection
Your tasks: Review works and image sets, judge attribution, context and presentation, and explain your decisions in writing
You’ll review artworks and photographs and judge them: what they are, where they come from, how they should be shown and described. This is a good fit if you work as a curator, collections specialist, gallery or auction specialist, or photo archivist and make decisions about what to acquire, show or attribute.
Scope of Work
• Look at works or sets of works and decide which fit a given theme, show or collection.
• Judge attribution, date, medium, edition and print type (for example, vintage vs. later print) from what is shown and described.
• Flag provenance gaps, doubtful attributions and condition or display risks.
• Check that titles, labels and descriptions are accurate and fair to the work.
• Flag rights, consent or ownership issues.
• Write a short explanation for each decision so a reviewer can follow your reasoning.
What we’re looking for
• Professional work as a curator, assistant curator, collections or exhibitions specialist, gallery director, auction house specialist, art or photo archivist, or registrar.
• Experience with real decisions: selecting works, attributing them, planning displays or handling loans and acquisitions.
• For photography: familiarity with prints, editions and photographic processes.
• Comfort explaining why a work belongs in a show or why an attribution is doubtful.
• Clear written English.
