As part of "The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Fifty States" national gift program, the Indianapolis Museum of Art is the first to present 50 works from the Vogels' esteemed collection that have recently joined the Museum's permanent collection. New York collectors Dorothy and Herbert Vogel began to collect contemporary artwork in the early 1960s and amassed a rare and insightful collection of works over a period of more than 40 years. Complementing the IMA’s holdings in hard-edge abstract and minimal works from the 1960s, the gifts from the Vogel Collection include primarily works on paper from the late 1960s to 2000, by artists such as Lynda Benglis, James Bishop, Robert Mangold, Elizabeth Murray, Edda Renouf and Richard Tuttle, among others. The works joining the IMA’s collection demonstrate the Vogels’ knowledge, vision and commitment to new and challenging artwork. The exhibition at the IMA runs December 12, 2008-April 12, 2009.

00:00:06 When I met my husband, he was studying painting at N.Y.U. and then, I wanted to be an artist, too.

00:00:14 And we started to take down our work, and put up other artists up, and we realized we are better collecting other people who are much better than we were, so we gave it up.

00:00:23 Over the course of forty years, the Vogels assembled a collection of over four thousand works of art. The couple used Dorothy's librarian salary for expenses for daily life, while Herbert's U.S. Postal Service salary was devoted to art acquisitions.

00:00:39 We've got a lot of enjoyment from it, and I think a lot of people might get it, too.

00:00:45 The Vogels will distribute twenty five-hundred works from their collection throughout the United States, with fifty works going to a selected art institute in each of the fifty states.

00:00:58 It’s going to fifty museums in fifty different states. That all over the United States, people who are not accustomed to this type of art might get to know it and appreciate it, and that’s a very good feeling.

00:01:11 The IMA is honored to be the first to display fifty artworks in an exhibition focusing on the Vogel's insightful and singular vision as patrons of art.
