Dorthy & Herb

The story of Dorthy and Herb was a very touching one.  They are an adorable couple who have simply become famous for their art collection.  Not one where they buy individual pieces for millions of dollars, but one they have gathered over a life time and bought just purely for their love of modern art.
Over the years they have managed to build a collection of 4,782 works mostly focusing on conceptual and minimalist art.  They kept all these pieces in their small NYC apartment until 1992 when they decided to transfer the works to the National Gallery of Art. Dorthy and Herb were offered millions and millions of the dollars but they two did not sell their collection.  This shows how truly genuine their love of art it.  They were not collecting with the hopes of getting rich, but were collecting purely for the love of it.
