HERB & DOROTHY, A film by Megumi Sasaki, NR, 87min,
Herb & Dorothy tells the extraordinary story of Herbert Vogel, a postal clerk, and Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, who managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history with very modest means. In the early 1960s, when very little attention was paid to Minimalist and Conceptual Art, Herb and Dorothy Vogel, devoting all of Herbs salary to purchase art they liked, quietly began purchasing the works of unknown artists.and Living on Dorothys paycheck alone, they continued collecting artworks guided by two rules: the piece had to be affordable, and it had to be small enough to fit in their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. Within these
limitations, they proved themselves curatorial visionaries; most of those they supported and befriended went on to become world-renowned artists.
