I’m just about to see the extraordinary story of Herb & Dorothy at the movie theater. For the past 40 years, Herbert Vogel, a postal clerk, and Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history with very modest means. The couple devoted all of Herb's salary to purchase art they liked, and lived on Dorothy's paycheck alone. They collected artworks guided by two rules: the piece had to be affordable, and it had to be small enough to fit in their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. If this made you curious, watch the trailer here.
