Gina Rinehart demands National Gallery of Australia remove her portrait

The mining billionaire Gina Rinehart has demanded the National Gallery of Australia remove her portrait from an exhibition by the award-winning artist Vincent Namatjira.
The image, arguably an unflattering picture of Australia’s richest woman, is one of many portraits unveiled at the Canberra gallery as part of the Archibald prize-winning artist’s first major survey exhibition.
The National Gallery has rebuffed efforts to have the picture taken down and said in a statement that it welcomed public dialogue on its collection and displays.
“Since 1973, when the National Gallery acquired Jackson Pollock’s Blue Poles, there has been a dynamic discussion on the artistic merits of works in the national collection, and/or on display at the gallery,” it said.
“We present works of art to the Australian public to inspire people to explore, experience and learn about art.”
The portrait of Rinehart hangs alongside images of Queen Elizabeth II and football player Adam Goodes and is set to be on display until 21 July.
Before going on show in Canberra, the painting was on public display in Adelaide for months during the exhibition’s initial run at the Art Gallery of South Australia from October 2023 until January 2024.
The SA gallery has confirmed it did not field any requests for the removal of the painting.
A reproduction of the image is also part of a prestigious Thames & Hudson monograph about Namatjira’s work, published to accompany the survey show.
Rinehart is listed as a friend of the National Gallery after donating between $4,999 and $9,999 to the institution.

Maybe she should’ve donated more as a billionaire and they’d listen

These people are billionaires, but get horrible PR advice.
She should make that painting her social media profile pic and offer to sell prints of it and give the proceeds to charity.
You have to own shite like that and it will die. Fight it, and it lives on.

Never heard of her but she called more attention to it so more people will see it now.

There's no argument about it, that thing is hideous.

One of Edwin Edwards state trooper bodyguards wrote a book in which he stated that Edwin had sex with some woman (Not his wife, obviously) five times in one night.
In his very next speaking engagement, Edwin stated "anybody who that read that knows it's a lie. I can only go 3 1/2 times in one night."
The definition of owning it.

Correct. She’s a billionaire. Get them to sign NDA under guise of donating to the gallery then request it be taken down in exchange for a monetary gift.

Is that the same artist doing the Trump trial?

She didn't do shite to make that money, she's an heiress. Thus the lack of instinct.
