Masterton's Aratoi: Wairarapa Museum of Art and History has pulled off a coup that will make it the envy of galleries around the country.
The gallery's director, Alice Hutchison, has spent the past few months working with reclusive artist Milan Mrkusich and his son Lewis on an exhibition that will see Aratoi host works that haven't been seen in public before.
Alice, who came to Masterton after working mainly in LA for 15 years, is the daughter of artist Phillia Blair.
