Dorothy Vogel, unlikely art collector and National Gallery donor, dies at 90

Dorothy Vogel and her husband, Herbert, kept art just about everywhere. In the closet. In the bathroom. Hanging from the ceiling. “We used every space available. We couldn’t even put another toothpick in. Then the National Gallery came to the rescue,” she once said of their unlikely collection, which was built on modest means, crowded their rent-controlled New York apartment for decades and was donated en masse to the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1992.
