You don't have to be a Rockefeller to collect art...
Herb & Dorothy tells the extraordinary story of Herbert Vogel, a postal clerk, and Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, who managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history with very modest means.
In the early 1960s, when very little attention was paid to Minimalist and Conceptual Art, Herb and Dorothy Vogel quietly began purchasing the works of unknown artists. Devoting all of Herb's salary to purchase art they liked, and living on Dorothy's paycheck alone, they continued collecting artworks guided by two rules: the piece had to be affordable, and it had to be small enough to fit in their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. Within these limitations, they proved themselves curatorial visionaries; most of those they supported and befriended went on to become world-renowned artists.
Remarkable as the Vogels' story may be, their influence on the New York minimalist art scene is even greater. Their eye for future talent and persistence on purchasing and promoting quality work from undiscovered talent has been of huge support to a generation. Herb and Dorothy may seem to be just collectors, recent recognition for their collection has made them true ambassadors of a significant movement defining the core of synthesis of artistic value and design in a new way.
Their tiny appartment is like a treasure chest of a little understood, but certainly challenging and influential niche of modern art. And their taste should be textbook material for all aiming to understand the design of an object. This documentary, winning dozens of awards worldwide, is their deserved virtual diary of decades, an insight to the eyes of true taste and guts.

deli.wear:
a conceptual installation + tasting of edible ‘fashion fabrics’ made from vegetables, fruits, and herbs
by de culinaire werkplaats, exhibited at the dutch design week 2010.
de culinaire werkplaats is a design studio and restaurant for contemporary and sustainable food & eating design at the intersection of eating & art, and based in amsterdam.
deli.wear is a conceptual exploration, which addresses
. our daily food and fashion habits;
. the plate of + for the future and
. the materials used in fashion.
the designer's couple Marjolein Wintjes and Eric Meursing of de culinaire werkplaats are specialized in the plate of the future, on which the meat and fish component will experience a less prominent position.
with their conceptual and applied food + eating designs this couple wants to inspire people to shake up their culinary lifestyle.
deli.wear, where food, fashion and sustainability meet at various levels:
•illustrates one of the designer couple’s claims:
food equals fashion, what you eat and what you wear reveals
who you are or want to be;
•is a call for more vegetables, and fruits on your daily plate;
•showcases the foodtrend of this very moment: think global, eat local;
•alludes the vulnerability of the ecosystem. every meal consists of choices which affect people, animals and environment, this can also be said about fashion;
•based on the cradle-to-cradle principle: the installation is edible; it is both food for thought and food for your body;
•refers indirectly to the aspect of temporality of design & fashion.
