Winter/Spring Film Series

Herb and Dorothy
Friday, April 15 | 8 pm
East Building, Museum Auditorium

"You don't have to be a Rockefeller to collect art."

This delightful documentary is a portrait of two collectors who bought and bought and bought to their hearts' content and their apartment's storage limit. Introduced by NCMA curator Linda Dougherty, who helped accession Herb and Dorothy Vogel’s remarkable collection of contemporary work at the National Gallery of Art. Shown on DVD.

Herb and Dorothy
(2008) Directed by Megumi Sasaki. (87 min.)

The Vogels, a modest middle-class couple living in Manhattan, are curious and enthusiastic about art. They decide to collect, buying the conceptual art they can afford, nurturing friendships with struggling artists. They’re “crazy, smart, generous, and enormously endearing” (Bob Mondello, NPR).

Upcoming
Friday, April 22: The Creative Life series continues with the comedy (Untitled).
