RCB Film Club: Herb & Dorothy
They’re back! RCB Film Club, in collaboration with Documentary Club, proudly presents the return of “Doc Club Pop-up Screening”—a cinematic treat for art lovers and collectors alike. This special edition spotlights two extraordinary documentaries that chronicle the quiet yet remarkable lives of Herb and Dorothy Vogel—an unassuming couple with a boundless passion for art. Herb, a postal worker, and Dorothy, a librarian, spent their modest salaries not on luxuries, but on collecting contemporary art, piece by piece, with unwavering devotion. The first film, “Herb & Dorothy”, tells the inspiring tale of how this humble duo built one of the most significant collections of contemporary art in the United States—over 2,000 pieces—many of which are now cornerstones in the history of modern art. The journey continues in “Herb & Dorothy 50X50”, the compelling sequel that follows the Vogels’ generous mission to donate their vast collection to 50 museums across America, enriching the public and preserving their legacy for generations to come.
Beyond offering a charming glimpse into the lives of two legendary collectors, these documentaries gently remind us that collecting art isn’t reserved for the elite—it’s a deeply personal journey, accessible to all, and rich with meaning. As Herb Vogel once said, “Money has no meaning to me. Art is what matters”.
Catch these inspiring films for just two days only, with two screenings per day, exclusively at RCB Forum, 2nd Floor, River City Bangkok.
