<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A picture-book biography of renowned art collectors Dorothy and Herbert Vogel, who independently built one of the country's greatest art collections, then donated it to the National Gallery of Art"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A picture book biography about an ordinary New York City couple and their extraordinary collection of art</b> <p/> In the heart of Manhattan lived a librarian and a postal clerk who loved art so much that they collected it. Over the years, Dorothy and Herbert brought home hundreds of works of art--from little-known SoHo artists to luminaries such as Chuck Close and Christo and Jeanne-Claude--to their small, empty-walled apartment, much to the curiosity and delight of their eight cats and tank of fish. Their passion for art and support of artists was so impressive, Dorothy and Herbert became famous themselves. And when they gifted their extraordinary collection to the National Gallery of Art, their art became ours, inspiring new generations of artists.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Lyrical, energetic text and memorable, innovative illustrations (including a particularly dramatic double gatefold) capture the Vogels' love of art and the artists of New York's SoHo community, show how Dorothy and Herbert became mentors and hosts, and include interesting details. Overall, this is a warm and thoughtful depiction of the two collectors as well as an engaging introduction to the world of modern art."--<i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Children's book author <b>Jackie Azúa Kramer</b> lives with her family and her collection of tiny pigs in Long Island, New York.
