Ever noticed how many of the New Zealand artists who have made a break-through internationally have been sculptors? Here’s a preliminary list:

Billy Apple
Chris Booth
Bill Culbert
Neil Dawson
Len Lye
Francis Upritchard
Boyd Webb

And then there’s Judy Millar, best known as a painter but looking more like a sculptor every day.
