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.
From an historical point of view, Künstler is an heir to the European academic tradition and is, perhaps, a late 20th Century counterpart to the great American realist Thomas Eakins.
