Herb & Dorothy

Meet Herb and Dorothy Vogel, a singularly unpretentious New York couple who, with the salaries of a postal clerk and a librarian, have built one of the world’s most significant and valuable collections of minimalist and conceptual art. Knowing exactly what they like, and buying only what can be carried home by subway or taxi and can fit into the one-bedroom apartment they share with numerous pets, they’ve been patrons since the early '60s to Sol LeWitt, Donald Judd, Robert Mangold, Christo and Chuck Close. They have works by Schnabel, Picasso, Pollack and they’re not interested in selling any of it.
