[edit | edit source]Kogan was born in Vitebsk, Russian Empire in 1902.
From 1919 to 1922 Kogan studied at the Higher Art School of Vitebsk under Kazimir Malevich,[3] where she was one of his favourite students.[2] She was part of the group UNOVIS,[4] which focused on suprematist art and produced projects and publications which influenced the avant-garde in Russia.[5] In 1924 she joined the architectural deartment of the Institute of Artistic Culture, Leningrad.[2]

In 2009, Artnews reported that she was an "enigma to art historians", due to a lack of biographical history and the fact that none of her works appeared in Russian Art Museums.[6]
Her work is included in the collections of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco[7] and the Seattle Art Museum.[8]
