Fifty Works for Fifty States: The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection

The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: 50 Works for 50 States from the Blanton Museum of Art, The University of Texas at Austin. The Blanton Museum of Art was bestowed a wonderful gift from a couple who took a cue from the Kress Collection and donated most of their collection of minimal, post-minimal and conceptual art, to the benefit of all Americans and visitors to American museums. The art in the Vogel collection eventually reached 4,782 works. The Vogels were annually recognized by the fine art industry in the international publication, Art News, from 1990 through 2000 as being among the the top 200 art collectors in the world. This particular gift to the Blanton includes 25 artists.
