Longtime art collectors Herb and Dorothy Vogel refuse to sell their vast collection, choosing instead to donate 50 works of art to each state.

Tom Keogh

Seattle Times

As with the 2008 film, a nice bonus of "Herb & Dorothy 50x50" is a chance to see a lot of the once-avant-garde art that so captivated the Vogels in their prime.

A fine sequel that looks beyond the collectors, updating us not only on where they are but also on where the state of art appreciation is in this country.

A superhero sequel worth seeing. . . [It's a] treat is to see the Vogels [as] active donors [and] how museums have experienced the impressive impact of their unique vision.

Rated: 8/10

Very inspiring to see the second documentary. A story of how obsessive "wanting to have" turned into sharing with all. Wonderful!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A quaint documentary on a fascinating subject, but with ho-hum exposure.
