In 1980, he sang on the [[Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young]] song "[[Daylight Again]]", featured on the album of the same name.

Garfunkel's next album was a low point in his career. The 1981 album, ''[[Scissors Cut]]'' (US No. 113, UK No. 51) (dedicated to Bird), contained three singles, "A Heart in New York" (B-Side: "Is This Love") (US No. 66, US AC No. 10), "Scissors Cut", and "Hang On In". The latter two failed to chart.

Following disappointing sales of ''Scissors Cut'', Garfunkel reunited with Simon for ''[[The Concert in Central Park]]'' and a world tour. They had significant disagreements during the tour. In 1984, ''Stereo Review Magazine'' reported that Simon mixed out Garfunkel's voice from a new album. It was initially slated to be a Simon & Garfunkel studio reunion, but was ultimately released as a Simon solo album (''[[Hearts and Bones]]''). In 1986, Garfunkel played the part of the butcher on the [[Mike Batt]] [[concept album]] ''[[The Hunting of the Snark (musical)|The Hunting of the Snark]]''.

Garfunkel released his first compilation album in 1984, ''[[The Art Garfunkel Album]]'' (UK No. 12), never released in the US,<ref>{{Cite web |date=September 11, 2001 |title=The Art Garfunkel Album – (1984 – Columbia Records – This Album Was Not Released in the U.S.) |url=http://www.artgarfunkel.com/cds/artgar.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111201131734/http://www.artgarfunkel.com/cds/artgar.html |archive-date=December 1, 2011 |access-date=November 21, 2011 |website=ArtGarfunkel.com}}</ref> which contained the minor hit "Sometimes When I'm Dreaming" (UK No. 77, US AC No. 25).

Garfunkel again left the music scene when his father died. In the fall of 1985, he met his future wife, Kathryn "Kim" Cermak; they were married in September 1988.<ref name="Bio">{{Cite web |title=1985–1989 |url=http://www.artgarfunkel.com/chrono/1989-1985.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130828010231/http://www.artgarfunkel.com/chrono/1989-1985.html |archive-date=August 28, 2013 |website=ArtGarfunkel.com}}</ref> Garfunkel's retirement lasted until his 1988 album, ''[[Lefty (album)|Lefty]]'' (US, No. 134), which produced three singles, "[[So Much in Love]]" (US No. 76, US AC No. 11), "When a Man Loves a Woman", and "This Is the Moment".
