Dmitri Aleksandrovich Prigov (1940 – 2007) was a Russian writer and artist. Prigov was part of the unofficial Moscow Conceptualists during the era of the Soviet Union and was briefly sent to a psychiatric hospital in 1986.
In 1986, the K.G.B arrested Prigov, who performed a street action by handing poetic texts to passers-by, and sent him to a psychiatric institution before he was freed after protests by poets such as Bella Akhmadulina.
In 2011 Hermitage Museum presented an important monographic exhibition of Prigov's art in Venice during 54th Biennale.
