Review – Herb & Dorothy

The title subjects – Herb and Dorothy Vogel – have to be the two most charming people in the entire realm of postmodern art. The Vogels – a postal clerk and a librarian, both now retired – amassed a collection by buying what they liked rather than what they thought would be a good investment. The result was a small New York apartment packed with millions of dollars’ worth of minimalist art. Then they donated the whole thing to the National Gallery (and associated non-de-accessioning collections) and started all over again. Though I admit that some of the stuff they love doesn’t exactly float my boat, it’s hard not to love them for loving it. Worth seeing
