THE ARTS

Art Donors: A New York City couple who amassed a collection of 2,500 works by American artists using the husband’s postal clerk wages have promised their entire collection to the National Gallery of Art. Dorothy Vogel, 56, a retired reference librarian, said she and her husband Herbert, a retired U.S. Postal Service worker, scrimped to buy the sculptures, paintings and drawings from then mostly unknown artists. “We lived on my salary and spent Herbert’s,” she told the Washington Post. Their cache of works by some 200 vanguard artists of the 1960s and ‘70s fills a void in the museum’s collection, officials said.
