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
New York Governor Mario Cuomo made a speech in New York City at ceremonies dedicating the reopening of the Statue of Liberty at which the Mort Künstler trilogy on immigration - First View of the Lady, Main Hall - Ellis Island and Freedom - was featured. Attending the Awards Dinner held at the Waldorf Astoria on October 27, 1986 were such luminaries as Bob Hope, Vic Damone, Lee Iacocca, Diahann Carrol, Alan Shepard, John Denver, Cardinal John O’Connor and Barbara Walters!
Künstler’s popularity (is) phenomenal. We’ve been getting calls from all over the Southeast. We’ve already sold prints and the exhibition hasn’t even started yet.
