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
1996
Jeff Rouse, the Olympic swimming champion and gold medal winner for the 100-meter backstroke at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, poses with Mort Künstler. Mr. Rouse, a fan of the artist, showed his medal to Künstler at an appearance Künstler made at Fredericksburg Historical Prints, in Virginia.
Mr. Künstler, a talented American painter, has depicted many historical events in American and Virginia history, particularly Civil War events and personalities, with historical accuracy and near flawless detail, thereby creating a memorable and vivid record of our cultural heritage.
