Collecting Them All

When collecting and buying art, peopletend to have a lot of mone and time on their hands. For Herb and Dorothy Vogel, collecting art didnt require any of the sort. Herb and Dorothy were very much ordinary people, Dorothy worked as a librarian and Herb worked as a part of the postal service. Herb and Dorothy collected many pieces of art that were affordable to the ordinary salary, They wouold live off of Dorothy's earning and  Herb's salary would go toward purchasing all of the pictures that they could. Over the decades Herb and Dorothy collected over 2000 pieces of art, (keeping all of it in their tiny apartment) and became patrons of artists including Sol LeWitt, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Richard Tuttle, Chuck Close, Robert and Sylvia Mangold, Lynda Benglis, Pat Steir, Robert Barry, Lucio Pozzi, and Lawrence Weiner.
