HERB & DOROTHY

"They're incredibly humble folk, not wealthy by any means, and their passion shines through Megumi Sasaki's wonderful doco." - Aaron Yap, Real Groove magazine

Meet Herb and Dorothy Vogel, a singularly unpretentious New York couple who, with the salaries of a postal clerk and a librarian, have built one of the world’s most significant and valuable collections of minimalist and conceptual art. Knowing exactly what they like, and buying only what can be carried home by subway or taxi and can fit into the one-bedroom apartment they share with numerous pets, they’ve been patrons since the early 60s to, amongst others, Sol LeWitt, Donald Judd, Robert Mangold, Christo and Chuck Close. They have works by Schnabel, Picasso, Pollack and they’re not interested in selling any of it. “As much as it is a tribute to the Vogels’ devotion to the arts, Herb and Dorothy also fascinates in how it explores the art of seeing... how we see beauty is as mysterious and mystifying a phenomenon as how we create it.” — Jay Antani, Slant
