The White Collar Art Collectors

Witness History

Available for over a year

Twenty-one years ago, a priceless modern art collection was donated to the US National Gallery of Art. The donors were Herb and Dorothy Vogel – a former postal worker and a retired librarian. They had spent over four decades building up the collection – which was crammed into their tiny Manhattan apartment. (Photo: Herb and Dorothy Vogel. Copyright: Fine Line Media, Inc.)
