Herb & Dorothy (2008)
Director: Megumi Sasaki
I love this movie. Just as much the third time as the first. I chose this doc over others I haven’t seen just to spread the gospel that is Herb & Dorothy. A quaint & sentimental hit about a librarian & postal worker who met, went to art school, decided others made art better and thus became two of the most prolific art collectors of modern time.
Buying multiple pieces at a time from rising artists straight from the lofts themselves, the Vogels bypassed the expensive galleries and began emmassing a collection fit for the Rockefellers, canvassing their entire apartment in New York City, from the walls to the closets to under the bed.
This is a love story in two: between two people and a couple and their art. Life (and art) is about love. And this movie gives me hearts for eyes.
