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
1986
Mort Künstler is being interviewed at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York. This was in 1986 at the presentation of the serigraph, “First View of the Lady,” center, to the Academy Museum. The museum staff had been helpful in the research for the ship in the painting.
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.
