Moisey Feigin
Moses (Moisey) Aleksandrovich Feigin (Russian: Моисей Александрович Фейгин; 23 October 1904 – 26 April 2008) was a Soviet and Russian artist of Jewish descent. Feigin held the Guinness World Record for the world's oldest professional working artist until his death in 2008 at the age of 103.[1] A centenarian, he was considered the last representative of the Russian avant-garde art.
Feigin was born on 23 October 1904.
Feigin died on 26 April 2008 in Moscow.[2]
The works of artists included in Yale University Press: Posen Library of Jewish Culture and Civilization Volume 9 Catastrophe and Rebirth, 1939–1973 and considered quite valuable, and usually has a much greater advantage over the rest at an auction. This created an opportunity for a promising lucrative investment, given the increase in the cost of Jewish avant-garde art every 5–10 years.
