Western Australian mining billionaire Gina Rinehart has expressed disapproval of a portrait of her, painted by award-winning indigenous artist Vincent Namatjira, and has requested the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) to remove it from their exhibition.

She approached the gallery’s director Nick Mitzevich and chair Ryan Stokes in April to lobby for it to be taken down.
