Herb and Dorothy









A documentary by Megumi Sasaki about Herb and Dorothy Vogel, who donated their entire art collection to the National Gallery of Art in 1992.
The best part is that Herb was a postal clerk and Dorothy was a librarian: 'You don't have to be a Rockefeller to collect art,' and 'Herb and Dorothy have eyes that see.'

See the trailer here.

I wonder if this will be screened in Toronto again. I know it was screened about a month ago as a part of the Reel Artists Film Festival..it sold out fast! I want to see it so badly!
