Documentary filmmaker Megumi Sasaki reveals the passion of two art collectors who amassed a staggering collection of important works before donating their collection to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It was the early '60s, and pop art was exploding. Everyone was looking for the next Warhol or Pollock, and meanwhile Herb Vogel was getting by as a postal clerk while his wife, Dorothy, worked as a librarian. Both husband and wife were lifelong lovers of art, and agreed to use his salary to purchase works by unknown minimalist and conceptual artists while using hers to cover the couple's living expenses. It was tight living for sure, but the rewards they reaped would prove astounding. Not only did the couple grow to befriend many of the artists whose works they had purchased, but years later, after filling their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment with over 4,000 works of art, their collection would be valued at several million dollars. The Vogels never sold a single piece of art, instead choosing to donate their entire collection to the National Gallery of Art so they could clear their walls and start again. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

New Review For Movie Herb and Dorothy
Sasaki balances her subjects' yarns with insights into the cultural moment that shaped them and vice-versa, in particular the shift from abstract expressionism to the sparer gestures of minimalist and conceptual art.Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
If Ripley's Believe It or Not! were still around, Herb and Dorothy Vogel would surely be in it for amassing a world-class art collection on the most ordinary of working-class salaries.
Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times
Herb and Dorothy, a documentary by Megumi Sasaki, grows on you just as its subjects do.
Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal
It's impossible to leave this movie believing that the Vogels are weirdos or naifs. A wealth of artists and curators testify to their strong eye, unwavering enthusiasm, and clear judgment.
Wesley Morris-Boston Globe
You can't hate the film anymore than you can hate Herb and Dorothy. But this is lazy work.
Philip Kennicott-Washington Post
This easygoing movie fully captures the couple's charm and offers a unique look at the '60s and '70s New York art scene.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle
A história da paixão incontrolável do casal Vogel por arte contemporânea é algo não só tocante, mas educativo.
Pablo Villaca-Cinema em Cena
The movie gives us an eyeful, but the unexamined irony is that the nice old couple can't sell the rest of us on why it's good.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
A solid and engaging documentary that shows the chasm between art and those that are removed, for various reasons, from its creation and most readily accessible exhibition to be a largely artificial construct.
Brent Simon-Shared Darkness
As director Megumi Sasaki's leisurely yet absorbing documentary tells it, the crusty postman and the mild librarian emerged as the Fred and Ethel Mertz of modernism, championing the early careers of such artists as Sol LeWitt and Christo.
Alicia Potter-Boston Phoenix
When was the last time you saw older protags, or a happily married couple, in American film? In this charming docu, the Vogels recall vividly their experiences in life and art over the past four decades.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
As the film progresses, we become captivated by the enchanted existence [Herb and Dorothy Vogel] have made for themselves.
Emily S. Mendel-culturevulture.net
Herb and Dorothy certainly proves there's more than one way to be an art collector. It just doesn't probe deeply enough and ask thorny questions about the nature of collecting and the nature of art, and how they relate to one another.
John P. McCarthy-Boxoffice Magazine
Ultimately, the tale is inspiring: Why can't we all be like the Vogels and become great collectors?
Jerry Portwood-New York Press
A fascinating, warm and delightfully charming documentary that finds just the right balance between entertaining the audience and provoking them intellectually.
