Herb was a postal worker and Dorothy, a librarian at the Brooklyn Public Library. They acquired mostly conceptual and minimalist art, and some post-minimalist pieces. Some of the artists represented in the collection were Chuck Close, Barbara Schwartz, Picasso, Judith Shea, Roy Lichtenstein, Cindy Sherman, Lorna Spencer, and Bettina Werner to name a few. In 1992 the couple chose the National Gallery of Art as a repository for their assembly since it does not charge admission, does not sell art, and is accessible. The Vogels wanted the public to own their collection, and because of its size, they later embarked on the “50 x 50″ project which distributed 50 works each to a museum in all 50 states (totaling 2,500). tmiliving/tag/dorothy-vogel/
