Joshua Liner Gallery seeks a full-time Registrar / Preparator. The ideal candidate should have significant experience in a gallery or museum environment, with a strong interest in Contemporary Art.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: coordinating and managing all incoming and outgoing shipments, loans and consignments for external galleries and institutions, and condition reports for incoming works. Ongoing, the applicant is expected to maintain accurate inventory records for all artworks; measuring and entering new details in the database as they come, insuring that all details are up-to-date and inline with physical inventory onsite and at storage at all times.

This includes a necessary professional demeanor for all client correspondence: both digitally, on the telephone, and in person. The ability to work well with artists and collectors to organize shipping and installation details is central to this position. Due to this detailed aspect of this position, our ideal candidate will be highly organized and thorough. A knowledge of Artbase is preferred, as well as familiarity with Adobe design programs. This is a full time position and includes benefits, 10:00AM – 6:00PM, Tuesday – Saturday.
