History
The art market was a different place in 1990, when I entered it. Prices were climbing, and illustration art was collectible, but it didn't command the prices it does today. After apprenticing with Czech restorer Lubo Kralicek, I created the restoration department under the roof of Illustration House in Soho. After restoring hundreds of paintings, Pratzon Art Restoration moved to West 26th St. in Chelsea. Current clients range from galleries along the High Line to celebrities in Hollywood, from fine art connoisseurs to first time collectors.
