Morton Künstler 1927 - 2025
Our 97-year-old artist, father, friend, and colleague passed away on February 2, 2025. He had a prolific life and career, yet happily said many times “I never worked a day in my life!” He is missed by all who were lucky to have known him and his paintings.
We greatly appreciate the outpouring of condolence messages and notes. Thank you.
History in Photos
1999
Governor James and Roxane Gilmore of Virginia stand next to the painting Candlelight and Roses with Deborah and Mort Künstler. The occasion was a dinner in honor of the artist at the Governor’s Mansion in Richmond. At that time Governor Gilmore officially declared March 18, 1999 Mort Künstler Day in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The line hugged the wall of the former Frederick County Courthouse. People, bundled up to keep warm in the brisk autumn day, slowly made their way to the courthouse door, clutching large pieces of cardboard. From beginning to end their trek took about three hours Saturday - all for an autograph. Such lines are usually reserved for sports stars. Saturday’s line wasn’t for an athlete, yet a sports analogy certainly fits. Civil War artist Mort Künstler hit a home run of Mark McGwire proportions locally with his latest painting, After the Snow, …The limited edition of 2,750 prints is sold out.
