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
1981
April 12, 1981 brought Mort Künstler to the John F. Kennedy Space Center in Florida to witness the first launch of the Space Shuttle Columbia. He is shown here doing oil studies on site before the launch, which took place at 7:00:10 EST.
Of the artists who have sought to portray the drama of this titanic conflict on canvas, Mort Künstler captures the moments of tragedy as well as triumph better than any other.
