Herb and Dorothy 英語發音 繁體中文語言字幕版(DVD版)(適用任何家用DVD播放機)
Documentary filmmaker Megumi Sasaki reveals the passion of two art collectors
who amassed a staggering collection of important works before donating
their collection to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It was
the early '60s, and pop art was exploding. Everyone was looking for the
next Warhol or Pollock, and meanwhile Herb Vogel was getting by as a postal
clerk while his wife, Dorothy, worked as a librarian. Both husband and wife
were lifelong lovers of art, and agreed to use his salary to purchase works
by unknown minimalist and conceptual artists while using hers to cover the
couple's living expenses. It was tight living for sure, but the rewards
they reaped would prove astounding. Not only did the couple grow to
befriend many of the artists whose works they had purchased, but years later,
after filling their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment with over 4,000 works
of art, their collection would be valued at several million dollars. The
Vogels never sold a single piece of art, instead choosing to donate their
entire collection to the National Gallery of Art so they could clear their
walls and start again. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
