:The family of Joel I. Zakow, a longtime presence in the art
world, is deeply saddened to announce his death on March 29.
Joel was born on July 8, 1941, in Brooklyn, N.Y. For 40 years,
his company, Zakow Art Restoration, served the art and antiques
community in the expert conservation and restoration of
paintings.
Greatly respected as a restorer of American folk art, marine and
Nineteenth Century paintings, his range extended to European Old
Masters and polychrome sculptures. Less well known was his work
as an exhibiting artist and writer. His work was frequently shown
in both New York City and in his beloved Connecticut at the Old
Lyme Art Association.
Joel Zakow thrived in the frenetic art world, both personally and
professionally. Artists, dealers, collectors and friends were
made welcome at his SoHo studio and home. All acknowledged that
he combined artistic mastery with honesty and humility.
Zakow Art Restoration remains open for business, led by experts
in their own right, Teresa Zakow, Jan Jarecki and Andrei Zakow in
their dear husband's, friend's and father's memory.
