Bill Culbert - 51 Drawings

Behind the scenes

One of Christchurch Art Gallery's latest Outer Spaces projects involves co-publishing an artist's book by Bill Culbert with Coracle Press. 

Bill favours drawing with the Parker 51 reservoir fountain pen and this book contains 51 drawings of pens, corkscrews and numerous working drawings for the artist's light sculptures. Established and run by the talented Simon Cutts (with input also from Erica Van Horn) since 1982 the Coracle Press is one of Britain's and Ireland's foremost private presses and has published several limited edition artist's books with Bill.

51 Drawings is limited to 300 copies and the Gallery's shop has about 15 copies left for sale which you can order here. Check out the Coracle Press website
