Art & Photography Curator — micro1
What the work involves
One of these six postings actually matches its own screening description, and this is it. micro1 wants curators and collections specialists to judge artworks and photographs: what they are, when they were made, how they should be shown and how they should be described. The attribution work is the demanding part. Deciding between a vintage print and a later one from a reproduction, reading an edition number against a catalogue raisonné, catching a date that sits wrong against the rest of a series. All of that is judgement made from what is visible and stated, not from holding the object, which is the constraint that makes the role interesting. You are also asked to flag provenance gaps and condition or display risks, and to check that titles, labels and descriptions are accurate and fair to the work.
Rights, consent and ownership questions fall inside the same remit. This suits someone who has sat in a registrar's meeting and argued about a loan. Pay is $50–$105/hr, 50 openings, worldwide.

- Review works or sets of works and decide which fit a theme, show or collection
- Judge attribution, date, medium, edition and print type from what is shown
