Australia’s richest woman seeks removal of her portrait from exhibition

Australian billionaire Gina Rinehart

certainly seems to be the case with a painting by indigenous artist Vincent Namatjira, which includes a portrait of Australia’s richest person, mining magnate Gina Rinehart.

Rinehart has reportedly called for the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) to remove her portrait, one of 21 individual works that make up a single piece in Namatjira’s exhibition “Australia in Colour,” from display.

The exhibition has been running at the gallery in the Australian capital, Canberra, since March.

Australian media has reported that Rinehart approached the NGA’s director and chair to request the painting’s removal.
