Collecting Art Has Never Been So Cool.

Herb Vogel was a postal clerk and Dorothy Vogel was a librarian and between their modest salaries they quietly built one of the world’s most important collections of modern art. The couple have collected 4000+ pieces of minimalist and conceptual art since the early 1960’s.

While Herb freely admits he “doesn’t understand” much of what he collects, the two nevertheless exhibit a palpable, fiercely instinctual connection to art. Their three pre-requisites: It must be affordable, it must be transportable via subway or taxi, and it must fit into the modest apartment they share with turtles, fish and a cat.

Mental.
