Dorothy & Herbert: An Ordinary Couple and Their Extraordinary Collection of Art<\/em>

Booktalk:<\/strong> In the heart of Manhattan lived a librarian and a postal clerk who loved art so much that they collected it. Over the years, Dorothy and Herbert brought home hundreds of works of art–from little-known SoHo artists to luminaries such as Chuck Close and Christo and Jeanne-Claude–to their small, empty-walled apartment, much to the curiosity and delight of their eight cats and tank of fish. Their passion for art and support of artists was so impressive, Dorothy and Herbert became famous themselves. And when they gifted their extraordinary collection to the National Gallery of Art, their art became ours, inspiring new generations of artists.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong>
\nAnd when there was a new museum exhibit
\nor gallery show in town,
\nDorothy and Herbert were always there,
\nhand in hand.<\/p>\n

Art filled them with WONDER<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
