In Memoriam: Stanley Zabar (1932–2026)

Co-Founders Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu mourn the passing of Stanley Zabar, a longtime member of Magazzino Italian Art and a very dear friend to Nancy’s late father, Robert S. Olnick.

A familiar presence on New York’s Upper West Side through his acclaimed family business, Zabars. Stanley, together with his wife Judith, were committed supporters of education and the arts. Stanley maintained a close friendship with the Olnick family throughout his life. His visits to the Robert Olnick Pavilion, named in honor of his dearest friend Bob, were especially meaningful to us.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Stanley’s spouse Judith, his brother Eli, the entire Zabar family and loved ones. His friendship and support will be remembered with deep love and affection.
