herb and dorothy

how many people can claim this?
In the 1960s, Herb and Dorothy Vogel (postal worker and librarian respectively) began amassing one of the 20th century's most formidable minimalist and conceptual art collections.

an article appeared in today's newspaper about this "obsessive couple who built an art collection in one-bedroom flat"
they're showing the documentary, herb and dorothy, at acmi from 7-10 january 7pm











i like their collection criteria,
*it had to be affordable, and
*it had to fit in the lift at their apartment building.

one year (2008 i think) i decided to start buying art - i bought a ship painting from a local painter, and a very small minnie pwerle

this year i might try and keep it simple and just try and see as much film and art as possible
lots of good and inspiring stuff out there.
