Review by Library Journal Review
New York City postal clerk Herb Vogel and his librarian wife, Dorothy, began buying art in the early 1960s. Not too many people were acquiring minimalist and conceptual art at the time, so the Vogels were able to build quite a collection, purchasing pieces not for investment but simply because it brought them joy. They continued to support young, unknown artists for close to 50 years, becoming two of the most important collectors in New York. Eventually, there was no more room in their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment, so the art had to go-donated to the National Gallery of Art. Herb & Dorothy celebrates this humble couple and their unique life and passion for the arts, leaving the viewer feeling enriched. Bonus features include film festival footage, additional scenes, and trailers. Essential for art lovers and for those who appreciate how a passion can become so much more.-Julie Stump, Voorheesville P.L., NY (c) Copyright 2010.
