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
2000
Dr. James I. Robertson Jr., distinguished alumni professor at Virginia Tech, and Mort Künstler at the preview opening of “The Confederate Spirit.” The exhibition at Hammer Galleries in New York City took place on December 4, 2000 and was in celebration of the publication of Künstler’s new book, “The Confederate Spirit” with text by Professor Robertson.
Look at his artwork and you can see why Mort Künstler had to have been there. The Fall of the Alamo. Custer’s Last Stand. Oklahoma Land Rush. All of these paintings create such an air of authenticity that you know the artist must have wandered the American West in the 19th century. Likewise, consider his Civil War classics, like The High Water Mark at Gettysburg or The Glorious Fourth at Vicksburg. Somehow, Künstler must have wandered back and forth between Union and Confederate camps.
