    Herb & Dorothy

    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  imitations, they proved themselves curatorial visionaries; most of those they supported and befriended went on to become world-renowned artists including Sol LeWitt, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Richard Tuttle, Chuck Close, Robert Mangold, Sylvia Plimack Mangold, Lynda Benglis, Pat Steir, Robert Barry, Lucio Pozzi, and Lawrence Weiner.


    7-9pm
  • Concert / The Resolvers

    Born on the beaches of South Florida, The Resolvers are reggae soldiers with over 15 years in the scene, thriving on that Florida sunshine. They have toured the US and Jamaica, released several albums and continue to spread their heretical reggae sound. Coming in like a hurricane, The Resolvers are a force to be reckoned with, and with exciting new music to release, it's time to pay attention.
