The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Fifty States
GumTree Museum of Art, Tupelo
The Vogel Collection has been characterized as unique among collections of contemporary art, both for the character and breadth fo the objects and for the individuals who created it. Herbert Vogel spent most of his life working as an employee of the United Sates Postal Service, and Dorothy Vogel was a reference librarian at the Brooklyn Public Library, New York. By setting their collecting priorities about those of personal comfort, the couple used Dorothy's salary to cover the expenses of daily life and devoted Herbert's salary to the acquisition of contemporary art. In 1991, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., began its association with the couple, and has acquired many works from the Vogel collection to share with the nation. The Fifty Works for Fifty States gift program of contemporary art is a collaboration between the Vogels, the National Gallery of Art, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, to distribute 2,500 works of art from the Vogel Collection, to one museum in each of the fifty states. The Mississippi Museum of Art was selected as a beneficiary of this program, and is proud to share with the public the fifty pieces presented to its permanent collection.
