Review of Herb & Dorothy (2009) by Delicate I — 21 Aug 2015

They didn't think that their collection is investment. They often bought works of artist before they became famous. They thought growth of artists is more important than completeness of their works. They kept in touch with the artists after buying their works. Artists sometimes sold their works at discount price because the artists knew that Herb and Dorothy were not rich.

It is amazing that Herb and Dorothy just collected works they like without selling any of them for interests. It's also remarkable that they enjoyed interaction with the artists. Their collection became so big that many museums paid attention to it. Finally they had problem in keeping the works in their apartment and donated them to National Museum. There was no hesitation because they were government worker and their collection was not their investment to get return. They fully enjoyed their collection and they can still enjoy the exhibits free of charge after donation.

Herb passed away in 2014 and Dorothy stopped buying collection because she thought it's meaningless to do it without Herb. What a wonderful life they had!
