Position Title - Archivist Consultant

Supervisor Title (All entry and mid-level position supervisors should be qualified, professional archivists.)- n/a

Position Type - Part-time, term

Benefits - No

Hourly wage range - $41 - $45

The Cy Twombly Foundation is seeking an experienced archivist to help us think through and shape the future of Cy Twombly’s studio materials and personal library, which are now housed in New York after being brought from his Lexington, Virginia studio. The collection includes objects, tools, ephemera, documents, and books—items that are rich with potential but not yet organized or catalogued to archival standards.

This role is not just about preservation, but about possibility. We want to ensure these materials are cared for properly and available for the long term, while also allowing for future research, storytelling, and perhaps even public engagement. This is an exciting moment for the Foundation: we’re preparing a renovation of our New York building, and we’d like the archival strategy to inform how we design storage, study, and possible display spaces. We’re seeking a consultant who can start with an assessment phase, then develop recommendations and a phased implementation plan.

What we’re looking for is someone who can:

Assess the current state of the materials.

Identify risks, conservation needs, and opportunities.

Propose best practices for cataloguing, storage, and digitization.

Help us think strategically about how these materials might serve scholars, curators, and future generations.

Propose a clear, phased plan for how to move from assessment to implementation.

We imagine starting with a short assessment phase—spending a few weeks getting to know the collection and then coming back to us with a set of recommendations and an implementation plan. We are open to creative approaches and want this work to be shaped by someone who understands the unique nature of artist archives and who can balance rigor with sensitivity to Twombly’s legacy.
