In the early 1960′s, Herbert Vogel, a postal clerk, and his wife Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, began purchasing works by unknown artists. Guiding their collecting and buying were two simple rules: the piece had to be affordable, and had to be small enough to fit in their tiny, one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. After thirty years of collecting, the Vogels have managed to build one of the world’s most important contemporary art collections, including over 4,000 works by artists such as Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Richard Tuttle, Sol LeWitt, and Chuck Close- to name a few. In this award-winning documentary, director Megumi Sasaki tells the story of how this unlikely pair shocked the art world and changed the face of contemporary art collecting forever. Megumi Sasaki introduces the film and takes questions from the audience following the screening.
