Lawrence J. Majewski
American 20th century conservator
American, (1919–1999)
Born in Mason City, Iowa, Lawrence J. Majewski earned bachelor's and master's degrees in fine arts at Yale University and worked at the Metropolitan Museum and in Turkey before joining the staff of the New York University Institute of Fine Arts Conservation Center in 1960. He became chairman in 1966.
Majewski retired in 1986 as chairman and as Hagop Kevorkian professor of art conservation at the center in Manhattan. In November 1999, he received the Conservation and Heritage Management Award of the Archaeological Institute of America for accomplishments that included organizing and leading a group of 17 American conservators who worked in Florence after the flood in 1966. The group's journey was seen as a fact-finding mission, but its members also plunged into the rescue efforts in the most physical way. The group also helped rescue sodden books.
