Developed as the follow-up film to Megumi Sasaki’s award-winning documentary HERB & DOROTHY (2008) that moved millions of art-lovers worldwide, HERB & DOROTHY 50X50 captures the last chapter of the Vogel’s extraordinary life and their gift to the nation. Known and loved as a retired postal worker (Herb) and librarian (Dorothy) who built a world-class art collection on their humble salaries, the Vogels launched a national gift project with the National Gallery of Art (NGA) in Washington DC: to give a total of 2,500 artworks to museums in all fifty states. In 2012, Dorothy declared their collection closed after the passing of her husband Herb. In 50X50, we see how Dorothy works to create a living tribute to their partnership. Discussion to follow with Dorothy Vogel and Dr. Ruth Appelhof.
