Vogel 50×50: The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection – Fifty Works for Fifty States
website: http://vogel5050.org/
exhibitions: http://vogel5050.org/#exhibitions
participating institutions: http://vogel5050.org/#institutions
Civil servants by profession without independent financial means, Dorothy and Herbert Vogel acquired some 4,000 objects, primarily drawings, from the time of their marriage in 1962. Today these works constitute one of the most remarkable collections of contemporary art in America.
Frequently referred to as collectors of minimal and conceptual art, the Vogels always had a more expansive reach: art rooted in abstract expressionism (Michael Goldberg and Charles Clough), innovative post-minimalist approaches (Richard Francisco and Pat Steir), and diverse figurative directions (Will Barnet and Mark Kostabi).
The Vogel 50×50 site brings together 2,500 contemporary artworks that were distributed throughout the nation as part of The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Fifty States gift. Currently, 1,818 of 2,500 artworks have beenpublished on the site, and more are continuously added.

Core Philosophy
“Art is simple, but powerful. We live in a wide variety of cultures and societies. Our values are also different and, sadly, many times conflicting in one way or another. Art is one of the few achievements of mankind that is generally and widely accepted and appreciated. Art is universal, powerful, and makes us more human. Instead of dividing, art, at its best, brings us together in enjoyment and understanding. Art is the universal language.”
