Mort Künstler Named Official Artist for H.L. Hunley

 

Mort Künstler has been selected as an Official Artist for the H.L. Hunley, and is now working on a painting depicting the final mission of the famous Confederate submarine. Mr. Künstler received the honor from The Hunley Commission, the non-profit organization supporting preservation and display of the historic craft. Pictured, left-to-right, viewing the Hunley in its preservation laboratory in Charleston, South Carolina are: Civil War historian Rod Gragg - who serves as a historical consultant to Mr. Künstler; Randall Burbage - a member of The Hunley Commission; Chairman of The Hunley Commission, S.C. Senator Glenn McConnell - who has been instrumental in the recovery and preservation of the craft; and Mr. Künstler. Mort Künstler's official painting of the Hunley will be released as a limited edition fine art print next year.
