The
preparator and the curator picked up Hunt's artwork at his studio and
brought it to the Chicago Gallery in a truck.
The
registrar
and preparator unpack it and write reports describing its condition. When
the borrowed items are returned after the exhibit,
the registrar will check these records to be sure the artwork is in the
same condition it was when it arrived.
The
registrar and curator then help the preparator install the art in the galleries
and arrange and adjust the lighting. For the final touch, the preparator
mounts (hangs) the labels and signs.
Meanwhile,
the Director of Development is advertising the exhibit in the newspapers,
and on radio and television, and is ordering the food catering for the
opening reception.
