He was truly one of the great connoisseurs of his era. He will be greatly missed by his loving family. His wife, Isabelle Harnoncourt Feigen; two children, Philippa Feigen Malkin and Richard W.B. Feigen; three step-children, Stephanie Harnoncourt Wisowaty, Alexander Wisowaty and Leonie Harnoncourt Wisowaty; his sister Brenda Feigen; three grandchildren, Canning Malkin, Emeline Malkin and Griffen Malkin; niece Alexis Feigen Fasteau; grand-nephews Hunter Feigen Fasteau and Holden Feigen Fasteau; son in-law Jonathan Malkin; daughter-in-law Katharina Klein Feigen; sister-in-law Joanne Parrent; Gifts in his memory can be made to the Yale Art School, New Haven or The Art Students League, New York City (in lieu of flowers).

His autobiography TALES FROM THE ART CRYPT was simply the best by any art dealer ever written.

He gave Harold Stevenson (1929 - 2018) a chance. I hope they are laughing in the sky at the controversial exhibitions they were not afraid to present. In 2018, Mr. Feigen was eating lunch at his desk and allowed me to visit with him as we discussed the past. His devotion to the artists is appreciated.
