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
1981
Robert Anderson, CEO of Rockwell International, Mrs. Anderson, Deborah and Mort Künstler are seen here at the opening of the exhibition, “An American Adventure” at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts in 1981. The painting shown is “First Launch of the Space Shuttle Columbia,” one of a series of paintings Mort Künstler completed documenting the building, testing, first launch and touch down of the Columbia. Commissioned by Rockwell International, prime contractor of the Shuttle, the paintings are now in the permanent collection of the Museum of Science and Technology in Los Angeles.
The line snaked out of the military prints shop and down the block for nearly seven hours as fans waited to meet the painter. One Sunday in September, Civil War artist Mort Künstler signed more than 700 books and prints and greeted devotees from as far away as Ohio and South Carolina.
