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
1988
In 1988, Bill Treadaway, left, Director of the Printing Industries of the Carolinas (PICA) and Bill Hall, of Hall Printing in High Point, came to the Oyster Bay home of Mort Künstler to talk about a commission of a painting commemorating the 200th Anniversary of the US Constitution. The meeting resulted in the painting of “We, the People . . .”
For the past 25 years, Hammer Galleries has been proudly representing the work of Mort Künstler. His unparalleled attention to detail and historical accuracy are brought to life in paintings that archive one of the most important eras of the United States.
