About This Movie

Herb & Dorothy is a fascinating documentary that delves into the lives of two ordinary individuals, Herb and Dorothy Vogel, who somehow managed to create an extraordinary contemporary art collection on a postal clerk's and a librarian's budget. The film presents a warm, almost whimsical atmosphere, capturing their genuine passion for art and each other. You get to see their home, which holds this incredible collection, and hear from various artists who discuss how the Vogels' support shaped their careers. The pacing is steady, allowing the viewer to soak in the details of their story, while the themes of love, devotion, and the democratization of art are woven throughout. It's a unique perspective on art collecting—more about the heart than the wallet.
