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
1985
On October 20, 1985, a preview of the Mort Künstler exhibit, “Epic Paintings of America” at Hammer Galleries in New York City was well attended and included famed bird and wildlife artist Arthur Singer (center, with glasses.)
When talking to Mort Künstler, one would never guess that he is the world’s leading painter of historical subject matter. Nor would one guess that so many people turn out for his signings that he often ends the day with bleeding fingers. A genial and unassuming man, Künstler emits a passion and excitement for his work in Civil War art. ‘I fall in love with all my paintings,’ said Künstler when asked which is his favorite.
