A follow up to award winning documentary 'Herb & Dorothy', the film captures the ordinary couple's extraordinary gift of art to the nation as they close the door on their life as collectors. When Herb and Dorothy Vogel, a retired postal clerk and librarian, began collecting works of contemporary art in the 1960s, they never imagined it would outgrow their one bedroom Manhattan apartment and spread throughout America. 50 years later, the collection is nearly 5,000 pieces and worth millions. Refusing to sell, the couple launches an unprecedented gift project giving artworks to one museum in all 50 states. The film journeys around the country with the Vogels, meeting artists who are famous or unknown, often controversial, striking today's society with questions about art and its survival.

Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 9/10 by Chris KlimekIt's an absorbing document of an extraordinary act of generosity.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Michael O'SullivanIt’s a compelling, even stirring, tale.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Peter SobczynskiAs the saying goes, I may not know art, but I know what I like. I like this movie.
Seattle Times - 8/10 by Tom KeoghAs 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.
Film-Forward.com - 8/10 by Nora Lee MandelA 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.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by John DeForeThe democratic nature of the project and its exploration here jibes with the story of the Vogels, who (to put it mildly) don't conform to the stereotype of the filthy-rich art patron.
Variety - 7/10 by Peter DebrugeMuch like a work of art, the film invites a range of reactions, though it’s far easier to process than the daubs, doodles and other weird works that now hang all over the country.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Sheri LindenMegumi Sasaki's follow-up to her first documentary, 2008's Herb & Dorothy, is as engaging and unpretentious as its subjects.
Time Out - 6/10 by Matt PatchesThe tangential artist interviews and constant lionizing of the star couple meander, but given how museums between the coasts rely on collectors for life support, 50x50 still acts as a provocative call to arms: Those who love art must support it.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Steve MacfarlaneDorothy Vogel is less the soft-spoken housewife from the first film than a businesswoman both shrewd and mousy, and her trajectory affords the film its closest semblance to a story.
