Occupation

Associate Cataloguer

An Associate Cataloguer researches, documents, and authenticates artworks and cultural objects for auction houses, museums, or galleries, creating detailed catalog entries that describe provenance, condition, materials, and estimated value. The work involves researching historical records and comparable sales, writing clear descriptions for catalogs or databases, and often liaising with clients, conservators, and appraisers to verify information and build institutional knowledge. The role suits detail-oriented individuals with research skills, subject matter expertise (often in a specific art period or cultural tradition), and strong writing ability.
