Igor Golomstock (11 January 1929 - 12 July 2017) was a Jewish origin, Russian and English-language, London-based, world art historian.
He was the author of several books about Western artists like Pablo Picasso, Hieronymus Bosch, Paul Cézanne, Hans Holbein and Damien Hirst.
In Totalitarian Art, he contended that totalitarian art looked the same regardless of the regime, became a weapon of oppression through myth and propaganda.
Igor Golomstock was born on 11 January 1929 in Kalinin, Soviet Union (now Tver, Russia).
After his Karaite Jew father, Naum Kojak, was sent to a gulag, his parents divorced and Igor took his mother's name.
From 1939 to 1943, as he was a teenager, Golomstock and his mother lived in Kolyma, a labour camp in the Russian Far East.

In 1977, he "co-curated the exhibition Unofficial Art from the Soviet Union at the Institute of Contemporary Arts" in London.
He subsequently worked as a radio presenter on the BBC Russian Service.
Golomstock was the author of several books.
His other books were about Hieronymus Bosch, Paul Cézanne, Hans Holbein and Damien Hirst.
He was best-known for Totalitarian Art, first published in 1990 and republished in 2011, in which he contended that totalitarian art looked the same regardless of the regime, became a weapon of oppression through myth and propaganda.
In particular he showed that both Nazism and Stalinism depicted "industrious families, idealistic soldiers and compassionate leaders."

They resided in London, U.K. After they separated in the 1990s, he had a relationship with Flora Goldstein, an archeologist.
