Tributes have been published on the recent loss of the art dealer and collector Richard Feigen (1930-2021). Feigen opened his first gallery in 1957 and went on to become one of the primary dealers of Old Masters. Several paintings he handled ended up in the world's museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. He is reported to have died in his sleep after complications resulting from covid-19.
Here's an interesting interview that Christie's published in 2019 regarding Feigen's art collection.
