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
1980
Robert Anderson, CEO of Rockwell International, prime contractor for the Space Shuttle visited Mort Künstler in his studio in Oyster Bay, New York in 1980. Rockwell had commissioned Künstler to document the building, testing, first launch and touchdown of the first space shuttle. Künstler did more than forty paintings, drawings and sketches that are now in the collection of the Museum of Science and Technology in Los Angeles. Mr. Anderson visited the artist's studio when he wished to see the progress of the first painting in the series, appropriately titled “First Rollout,” showing the Enterprise being pushed out of the hangar for the first time.
…His paintings have continually confirmed his talent, and the caliber of Künstler’s overall artistic output has now placed him at the forefront of contemporary realism.
the late Dr. Armand Hammer
