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
1990
In 1989, The Marine Corps Command and Staff College Foundation commissioned Mort Künstler to do a painting entitled “Shall I Board Her, Sir?” On February 24, 1990 at their annual Semper Fidelis Award Dinner, the painting was unveiled by Mort Künstler and presented to Lt. Gen. Went, Commandant of the Marine Corps. Signed and numbered prints of the painting were put up for sale for the first time as a fundraiser for the organization.
The line snaked out of the military prints shop and down the block for nearly seven hours as fans waited to meet the painter. One Sunday in September, Civil War artist Mort Künstler signed more than 700 books and prints and greeted devotees from as far away as Ohio and South Carolina.
