  • Administrative Duties: The role involves handling contracts, filing, and archiving sales and acquisition documents, ppdating artwork sales templates, managing spreadsheets, tracking artwork sales and purchases, etc.
  • Logistics: Part of the process of buying and selling at a gallery is sending and receiving artwork. This includes getting quotes from our vendors, ordering custom crates, packing artwork for shipment, and monitoring shipments daily. It will also require strong diplomacy and communication skills.
