Gratz Gallery & Conservation Studio

Paul's work is impeccable. He is a wonderful artist and can do great reconstruction work. We were quite pleased with the work he did for Howard Johnson Sr. Howard would recommend Gratz Gallery to anyone for all their reconstruction work

We have purchased several paintings from Gratz Gallery over the years and have always been happy with the Art as well as the service. Paul also does amazing work with cleaning and restoring paintings, a True Artist himself.

Beautiful paintings and frames. Owner lives on premises and very knowledgeable and friendly

Do you have that one (or more) special piece that you are afraid to let out of your sight but, know that it needs restoration? That was me, not that long ago. I have this wonderful painting done in 1934 by my great Uncle, Alexis Szabo. After many years of hanging in homes where smoking was the norm, fireplaces roaring, coal heat and forced hot air heat my 'precious' was sadly showing it's age. It needed to be made shiny again. But the conundrum was, whom to entrust it to? So I began my search for the person I could trust to do the job. I made phone call after phone call starting with The Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where my Uncle was a student (a very long time ago). I then broadened my search to Museums and low and behold the name of Paul Gratz kept popping up, in my search. Since I wasn't familiar with this man or his work, I was still skeptical but, I steeled myself to give this man and his reputation a chance. I packed up my painting and off I went to Doylestown. I was impressed with the scope of his art 'collection' and the previous restorations he had done. So I left my 'precious' with (out) much trepidation, went home and commenced sitting in my living room looking at the empty space on the wall, waiting for the phone call informing me that my 'precious' painting was once again shiny and new.nI cannot begin to tell you, or anyone else, how thrilled I was when I once again saw the painting. I actually cried! It was so beautiful, if you could call a painting of an old man drinking in a bar beautiful, but beautiful it was/is. For the first time in my life I saw details in the painting that I never knew were there - the colors - I could write a poem about the colors! My 'old man' is once again hanging in my living room, where I see him on a daily basis and am thrilled with the outcome.nSince Paul restored the painting of the 'old man' I have had him do other work for me and have never been disappointed.nJust to let anyone that reads this yes, I am a real customer (not a relative or paid reviewer) and will be a customer of Paul's forever. I HIGHLY recommend his work for all your precious pieces.nBest,nLani RoscoenBucks County, Pa.

Do you have that one special piece that you are afraid to let out of your sight but, know that needs restoration/appraisal? I have this wonderful painting done in 1927 by E. Willis or (Edward Willis Redfield). It needs to be made shiny again. But the conundrum is, whom to entrust it to? So I began my search for the person I could trust to do the job. Just to let anyone that reads this yes, I am a real customer (Not a friend or paid reviewer) and will be a customer of Paul's forever. I Highly recommend his work for all your precious pieces.nBest,nSokonthea ProeungnCalifornia, Beverley Hills
