Herb and Dorothy (1:27)

Herb and Dorothy is a documentary about the most adorable elderly New York City couple who have devoted their life to collecting minimal and conceptual art. I'm not quite sure that I'm into conceptual art or even understand the concept of conceptual art but this is a wonderful documentary. The Vogels were a hard working middle class couple, Herb a postal worker and Dorothy a city librarian. Every dollar they could spare was invested into the works of art they liked. After forty five years of collecting this art form, they had over four thousand art pieces crammed into their rent controlled apartment. Although the collection is worth millions, the Vogels donated their collection to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. This is a charming story of a unique and very interesting couple. Do rent this. A good companion piece to this documentary is The Art of the Steal.
