Passion Defined - The Vogels

Herb and Dorothy Vogel

Herb was a postal worker in New York and Dorothy a librarian. Now retired, they lived on one salary and with the other bought art. Over time, they amassed one of the most important contemporary art collections in history.

Although their collection is worth millions, the Vogels have donated half of it to the National Gallery in D.C. and are presently involved in placing portions of the remainder in a museum in every state in the country. Fifty pieces in fifty museums in fifty states…!

Their enthusiasm for what they have accomplished is a joy to witness… Here is a video clip showing some of their work and their words. (Click Here)
