Russian artist Michael Iofin was educated at the St. Petersburg State School of Fine Arts, the St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts, and the Mukhina Art and Design Institute. Before his emigration from Russia in the early 1990s, public displays of his work were largely confined to exhibitions mounted by the “unofficial” art movement. His work is in permanent collections of the Russian National Library (St. Petersburg) and other museums in Russia and the United States. Iofin is also a noted illustrator of children’s books.
