Herb and Dorothy Vogel, a postal worker and librarian respectively, are far from millionaires. Yet with their modest incomes, they put together a remarkable collection of art in their small Manhattan apartment, spending Herb’s paycheck for purchasing works they really like and Dorothy’s for the rent and living expenses. The journalist-turned-filmmaker Megumi Sasaki’s award-winning debut documentary is an incredible modern-day fairy tale about a New York couple who collect art not for speculation but as loving supporters.
