Bill Culbert
Prominent New Zealand Artist Bill Culbert has died.
He had a career that spanned over 60 years and represented New Zealand at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013.
Bill Culbert will be best remembered by me for his works using recycled and found materials.
In particular, his bottle works.
The loss of a great New Zealand artist.
He is probably sharing a Vino and a joke with his great mate Ralph Hotere.
