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.

History in Photos
1995
The artist, Leroy Neiman with Mort Künstler at the preview opening of “Jackson and Lee, Legends in Gray” held at the Hammer Galleries in New York City on October 16, 1995. The event also celebrated the release of the book of the same name with the paintings of Mort Künstler and text by famed historian James I. Robertson, Jr.
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.
