You'd never suspect they are movers and shakers in New York's insider art world. She's a no-nonsense retired librarian, and he's an ex-postal worker who ...wears deliberately mismatched clothing. For decades, they've lived in a modest Manhattan apartment with their turtles, fish, cat--and more than 4,000 pieces of conceptual, minimalist, and other contemporary art. Meet Dorothy and Herbert Vogel, whose art collection has been called (by their friend, artist Sol Le Witt) "the most important in the U.S."
A portion of the Vogels' collection is now part of the Weisman Art Museum's permanent collection. Through a gift program designed by the National Gallery of Art, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, works by 50 different artists from the Vogels' collection found a new home at the Weisman this fall. See a slideshow and hear more about the art that came to the Weisman at http://giving.umn.edu/extras/vogel/index
The national gift program has distributed the Vogels' collection of contemporary art throughout the nation, with a hand-picked assortment going to a selected art institution in each of the fifty states. The Weisman was chosen as the Minnesota institution. Artists whose work came to the Weisman include Mark Kostabi, Lucio Pozzi, Alan Shields, Edda Renouf, Richard Tuttle, and many others.
