Cinema Session - Herb and Dorothy

A screening of 'Herb & Dorothy' introduced by collector and gallerist Charles Nodrum. He was a postal worker. She was a librarian. Together they amassed one of the most important contemporary art collections in the world. ‘Herb & Dorothy’ tells the extraordinary tale of Herb and Dorothy Vogel, a seemingly ordinary couple who filled their humble one-bedroom New York apartment with more than 4,000 works of art over a 45-year period. Filmmaker Megumi Sasaki turns her lens on the Vogels during a critical period of transition for the couple and their cherished collection. Despite their modest income, the two began acquiring work that was undiscovered or unappreciated in the early 1960s, primarily Minimalist and Conceptual art by such visionaries as Robert and Sylvia Mangold, Donald Judd, Richard Tuttle, Sol LeWitt, Christo, Lynda Benglis and many other artists who are featured in the film. All tickets $10. Bookings are essential. Town Hall Gallery will be open late. Drinks and snacks will be available to buy at the Arts Bar.
