Herb and Dorothy: DVD Review
Herb And Dorothy
Rating: G
Released by Madman Entertainment
If you like art you'll love this.
Herb and Dorothy is the tale of two art lovers in New York who shaped a
generation and managed to amass one of the most encompassing contemporary art
collections.
Cameras follow the Vogels as we see them tour gallery openings, attend
launches of artists and talk to the artists whom the Vogels championed and
believed in right from the get go. We also trace their history of meeting, their
courtship - and family's reaction to their collection which began to take over
their Manhattan apartment.
It's an interesting tale as it traces their interest in conceptual and
minimalist art - and shows how passion can eclipse anything else.
The pair are likeable and lovable - and you'll be seriously impressed with
Herb's eye for what makes or breaks a collection. But what truly emerges is a
couple whose love for each other and whose shared passion has created such an
amazing collection and insight into how a movement began.
Although it has to be admitted for those who're not in the know about art,
you probably won't change your mind - although listening to the various artists
talk about how the Vogel's love for their work made such a difference, you'll be
glad someone knows how to champion a cause very early on.
Extras: Trailer and deleted scenes make up the package - but
there's very little else to say or add from what's on the screen.
Rating: 6/10
