Working couple amass stupendous art collection, circulate it across the US
Marilyn sends us this, a trailer for "Megumi Sasaki's award-winning documentary about the Vogels, who used Dorothy's librarian salary for living expenses and Herb's postal clerk salary to buy art, amassing a collection of 4,000 important works. They plan to distribute 2,500 pieces of the collection, sending 50 works to each of 50 states."
Update: Aurelie sez, "the clip you've posted on the Vogels is misattributed: it is not Sasaki's trailer, but is from the Indianapolis Museum of Art."
Herb and Dorothy Vogel (Thanks, Marilyn!)
