Bill Culbert and Ralph Hotere

Bill Culbert and the late Ralph Hotere enjoyed an artistic partnership that lasted more than two decades and a friendship that lasted even longer. The fruits of both will go on display at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery from next Saturday in the first ever major retrospective of their joint work, Hotere Culbert. Bill has come home to Dunedin for the exhibition and when Justin Gregory caught up with him he asked him how he and Ralph managed to sustain such a long collaboration.
