Does anyone know when Herb and Dorothy comes out on DVD? This is my favorite art documentary--much better than the relatively recent My Kid Could Paint That or Who the #$&% is Jackson Pollock (though the latter was a fun film about the elitism of the art world--Thomas Hoving's portrayal is pretty comical as he contorts himself to view the potential Pollock upside down, as though this will reveal its authenticity). I saw Herb and Dorothy at the beginning of June at its New York premier and have been eagerly awaiting it's release on DVD, especially because I promised it to my dad as a Father's Day gift. Herb and Dorothy Vogel are the most endearing and gifted collectors of twentieth century art who have managed to amass one of the most impressive collections so large that their tiny apartment is literally bursting at the seams as they refuse to sell a single work, despite their paltry combined income (he's a postal clerk and she's a librarian). Every collector/aspiring collector should be obligated to see this film.
