Billionaire Demands Portrait's Removal from Australia National Gallery

Gina Rinehart, the richest person in Australia, has reportedly called on Canberra’s National Gallery of Australia to take down a painting of her by Aboriginal artist Vincent Namatjira.

It wasn’t immediately clear what had moved Rinehart, a donor to the National Gallery of Australia, to make the request, but it was clear, at least, that Namatjira’s portrait was viewed as being not the kindest representation of her. Both the Guardian and the Sydney Morning Herald used the word “unflattering” to describe the picture, which renders her skin a pinkish color, exaggerates the folds on her chin, and turns her lips downward into a frown.

The painting is one of nearly two dozen portraits that appears in Namatjira’s current retrospective at the museum, which traveled the show from the Art Gallery of South Australia in Adelaide.

In Australia, Namatjira is well-known and much-loved. He became the first Indigenous artist to win the Archibald Prize, a prestigious Australian award for portraiture, in 2020.

Rinehart earned her fortune in the mining business and is currently chairwoman of Hancock Prospecting. She has periodically made national headlines in Australia for a string of controversies, most notably her decision in 2022 to stop funding a netball team after an Indigenous player asked not to have the Hancock Prospecting logo featured on her uniform.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, in April, Rinehart personally asked NGA director Nick Mitzevich and NGA chair Ryan Stokes to deinstall the Namatjira portrait. The museum declined to do so. “The National Gallery welcomes the public having a dialogue on our collection and displays,” the museum said in a statement to the publication.  ...

Her portrait is in the bottom row, 3rd from the L

Dorrit Black (1891 - 1951), Australian

Dorrit Black was born in the Adelaide suburb of Burnside, the daughter of engineer and architect Alfred Barham Black and Jessie Howard Clark, an amateur artist and daughter of John Howard Clark, editor of the South Australian Register. She attended the South Australian School of Arts and Crafts in about 1909, working in watercolours, and attended the Julian Ashton Art School in Sydney in 1915, concentrating on working in oils.

In 1927, Black went by herself to London and attended the Grosvenor School of Modern Art, where she experimented with colour linocut printing while studying under Claude Flight. Black was influenced by Flight to use bold geometrical patterns and harmonious colour schemes. In 1928, she studied at André Lhote's Academy in Paris. Black was influenced by Lhote's "compostional principles of geometric order". In 1929, she briefly worked with Albert Gleizes.

Black was strongly influenced by the Modernist and Cubist art movements she was exposed to in London and Paris. By the time she returned to her home country in late 1929, Black had become an active proponent of the Cubist style, and brought the styles back to Australia with her. Black then held an exhibition at Macquarie Galleries in Sydney in 1930. This was one of six one-woman shows which were to feature her work.

[algolagniaa]

You take a sip of your drink to steady yourself. The wine is excellent, sweet and full-bodied and obviously very expensive. It would probably be best to explore a little, you reason as you watch people stream past you to other delights. It’s not as though you know where you’re going, after all, and if you want to blend in with the crowd you’d be better off by participating. But no matter what you tell yourself, logic has nothing to do with why you join the crowd. The night, the revelry, the magic has its hooks in you now, for better or for worse.

You can only hope it’s not for worse.

You’re currently on the second floor of the east wing of the mansion. There appears to be two or three more rooms further down the hallway, with Luna’s room just to your left and the stairs to the first floor slightly further in that direction. You briefly step into the room next to Luna’s, but there doesn’t appear to be a performer other than a string quartet. People stand around talking and drinking while listening to the music, which really is quite extraordinary. As you make your way around the room, you pass by the musicians and notice that none of them have sheet music sitting on their stands. Each has a bloody body part balanced on the ledge: in front of one violinist is a hunk of long blonde hair with the scalp still attached, while the other has a handful of teeth bloodied at the root. The violist’s stand holds an ear with a jeweled earring shaped like a teardrop, and perhaps worst of all is the severed child’s finger for the cellist. The cellist meets your eyes and a tear slides down his cheek from beneath his mask but he does not pause in his playing.

Before you leave you do notice that all of the people you see marveling at the grandeur of the mansion or talking nervously about the impossibility of the entertainers seem to have a companion who has attended before. Are newcomers required to have a sponsor before attending the Masquerade? That may be important to keep in mind as you mingle with the other partygoers.

The next room is a gallery, but not like any you’ve ever seen before. Sculptures sit on pedestals or larger pieces stand alone. All are in varying shades of pink, red, or brown. The guests murmur quietly to each other as they inspect each piece in turn, admiring the skill of the artist. The small placard next to the first artwork reads “Alexei Danyarov.” Perhaps that is the name of the artist, though it isn’t one you recognize. The art is a kinetic work: a very thin piece of some unidentifiable fabric, stretched so tightly between two slender, off-white columns it is slightly translucent. At first you’re not sure what to make of it, but as you watch red droplets very slowly move from one side to the other, forming a shifting kaleidoscope of images. You stand there for a few minutes watching the fluctuating of the red liquid. It’s almost hypnotizing in the way a flickering fire or running water is.

The next sculpture is a lovely shade of deep brown. It’s abstract, an asymmetrical cup shape that reminds you a little of a calla lily approximately two feet in height. You can’t tell what it’s made out of – it’s not metal or stone or wood. Perhaps painted ceramic? The placard next to this reads “Adelaide Toussaint,” and you frown slightly in confusion. It’s clearly the same artist, something in the dynamic grace of the art is the same in both pieces, and yet the names are different.

You move to the next piece. Yet another new name on the placard, this one reading “Evangeline White.” Another abstract sculpture, this in an olive shade of tan with two twisting prongs coming out of the base in a way that vaguely resembles coral. Another guest bumps into you and you reach out to steady yourself, accidentally brushing against the statue – which shudders beneath your touch. You back away quickly, staring at the sculpture. Surely you imagined it. But as you watch, you can see the sculpture move very slightly and rhythmically as if it was breathing. Taking a quick look around to make sure no one is watching, you place your hand on it again. The statue is warm and soft and slightly yielding, exactly like human flesh. It flinches from your touch yet again.

“I didn’t think Hawthorne could do better than that tree-thing he made last year, but this is remarkable,” says the man coming to stand next to you. He wears a mask you think might be a mongoose and his companion is a woman in a glittering gold mask and a gown to match. You jerk your hand away from the statue.

“Oh no darling, it wasn’t a tree at all! Obviously it was meant to be lightning,” she replies, laughing.

“Lightning!” he scoffs, and turns to you. “What do you think?” asks the grinning man in the mongoose mask. “A tree, or lightning?”

Instead of replying, you make some noncommittal sound and brush past them back out into the hallway and walk to the next room, which you realize is not a room after all but another staircase spiraling up out of sight. From what you remember of the layout of the manor from the outside, this is likely to the tower. The steps and the walls are all cut stone, and the air is slightly cooler here than in the rest of the manor.

After far too many steps, you reach the top of the tower, slightly out of breath. The room is small but thankfully unoccupied by either party guests or living sculptures. The walls are stone and decorated with tapestries of unnerving images: a starving-thin wolf, titanic in size, lunging to swallow the sun, two arms blood-soaked to the elbows placing an iron crown on a weeping and terror-stricken woman, a ring of people holding hands, with a person set ablaze and smiling joyously in the center. But the most unsettling of all was also the simplest. A young woman holds a branch in front of her, the leaves obscuring her face. You have the strangest feeling that as you look at it the picture might move, that she might bring the branch down so you could see her clearly and that her face – her gaze -would be terrible. The thought makes you shiver and you imagine you can feel her sightless scrutiny as you look around the rest of the tower room.

The interior of the cupola is painted to look like the night sky, though you do not recognize any of the constellations. For some reason looking at it makes you feel faint and dizzy, as though you are looking down from a very great height and may fall. You sway slightly on your feet and pull your gaze from the ceiling, shaking your head to clear it. The room is sparsely furnished, containing only an enormous telescope pointing out the window up at the night sky, a small bookcase with a few books about astronomy, a deep blue armchair, and an antique orrery sitting on an elaborately carved wooden table. The base of the orrery is dark walnut wood, polished to gleaming, with each of the astrological symbols painted in tiny precise detail on the sides. You lean in to get a better look at it: each of the planets are carved out of a different precious gemstone, and the mechanism that turns the planets is golden metal and clockwork. It’s lovely and no doubt very expensive, but too fragile for you to try to carry off. You turn away from it with a sigh and approach the telescope.

You are at the highest peak of the manor; below you lies the City, lit by lamplight. Out of the window you can see a few parties that have spilled out into the streets, celebrating the Masquerade. The moon is the color of old bone and hangs low and full in the sky. Stars twinkle throughout the midnight sky like diamonds scattered across jeweler’s velvet. The telescope beside you is cool to the touch.

Do you look in the telescope, or return to the party?

ok this is literally all my worst party fears turned up to the max. act like you are cool enough to be here and convince everyone around you of such or you will Literally die. am going to have to watch the people who have attended before and mimic their behavior. but first i have to take a breather and what’s more calming than the stars? I look through the telescope.

(I know that this will yeet me into space, however my character doesn’t know that, so I can’t take precautions 😭 o well)

A Klippel's practice exeplifies the interconnectedness of the conceptual and the material. His bodies of work explore the relationship between the organic and the mechanical.

B By the time Robert Klippel died in Sydney in 2001, aged 81, he was critically acclaimed and well collected in his home country. But as with most Australian artists, although he had lived for stints in Europe and the US from the 1940s until the 1960s, his work was largely unknown abroad.

Eleven years on, his son has secured a blue chip shot at changing that. Klippel junior has signed Galerie Gmurzynska in Zurich as the sole representative of his father’s estate worldwide, catapulting the artist into the company of Pablo Picasso, Yves Klein, Alexander Rodchenko and David Smith, whose estates the gallery also represents.

  Some of Klippel’s large wooden sculptures have already been on the Gmurzynska stand at Art Basel, Art Basel Miami and ArtHK, and a substantial publication and exhibition is being planned for the coming year.

  Klippel is the only Australian artist to have been taken on by the 50-year-old gallery, which is best known for introducing the Russian avant garde to western Europe and for representing modernist artists working up to 1980.

  “We have a solid reputation for ­scientific research, and for promoting interesting, important historic figures who have created something authentic but who have not had the exposure they should have had,” says gallery co-owner Mathias Rastorfer.

  Klippel, an abstract artist and loner not easily slotted into one particular movement, was loosely influenced by surrealism, cubism and constructivism.

  According to Deborah Edwards in the 2002 Art Gallery of NSW retrospective catalogue, “his attitudes to art making were grounded in European modernism and postwar intellectual thought”. It is for this reason, in part, that Gmurzynska was interested in taking him on.

  Rastorfer says: “We found him very interesting due to his connection to the constructivists, his Polish ­origins, his time in America. The more you go into Klippel, the more modernist links you find.

“We will introduce his work in the context of those peers, taking him out of the Australian context and putting him into an international one. We want to show where he fits in worldwide.”

  Klippel’s bronze sculptures have been the most collectable in Australia. They appear regularly on the secondary market and can fetch more than $100,000. The top price paid at auction – $507,800 – was in 2006 for a miniature steel, tin, acrylic paint and coloured paper collage.

  Gmurzynska plans to use the large, wooden sculptures and tiny coloured plastic ones that Klippel did in the late 1980s and early 1990s to introduce him internationally. This is in part for practical reasons, because this is most of what is left in the estate, but also because he thinks these will work best there.

  Rastorfer expects to take at least three years to achieve traction internationally for Klippel. “One of the biggest temptations is to sell the four or five most important works straight away, because that’s the easiest thing to do,” he says. “But then the estate is left with the lesser known work and often doesn’t know what to do with it.

  “It’s about placement in museum collections, in significant private ­collections, and with opinion makers, not just about selling. If we show him in the context of his better- known peers, the rest will follow.”

  There are no guarantees the strategy will work, but Andrew Klippel is quietly excited that his father, to whom he was very close, is getting a posthumous chance at an inter­national career.

After years in the music business, where things happen very quickly, his foray into the visual arts is teaching him a new virtue: patience. “This is a long play.”

Book Recommendations: Compelling Parallel Narratives

Horse by Geraldine Brooks

Kentucky, 1850. An enslaved groom named Jarret and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding that will carry the horse to record-setting victories across the South. When the nation erupts in civil war, an itinerant young artist who has made his name on paintings of the racehorse takes up arms for the Union. On a perilous night, he reunites with the stallion and his groom, very far from the glamor of any racetrack.

New York City, 1954. Martha Jackson, a gallery owner celebrated for taking risks on edgy contemporary painters, becomes obsessed with a nineteenth-century equestrian oil painting of mysterious provenance.

Washington, DC, 2019. Jess, a Smithsonian scientist from Australia, and Theo, a Nigerian-American art historian, find themselves unexpectedly connected through their shared interest in the horse--one studying the stallion's bones for clues to his power and endurance, the other uncovering the lost history of the unsung Black horsemen who were critical to his racing success.

Based on the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred Lexington, Horse is a novel of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism.

Homecoming by Kate Morton

Adelaide Hills, Christmas Eve, 1959: At the end of a scorching hot day, beside a creek on the grounds of the grand and mysterious mansion, a local delivery man makes a terrible discovery. A police investigation is called and the small town of Tambilla becomes embroiled in one of the most shocking and perplexing murder cases in the history of South Australia.

Sixty years later, Jess is a journalist in search of a story. Having lived and worked in London for almost twenty years, she now finds herself laid off from her full-time job and struggling to make ends meet. A phone call out of nowhere summons her back to Sydney, where her beloved grandmother, Nora, who raised Jess when her mother could not, has suffered a fall and been raced to the hospital.

Nora has always been a vibrant and strong presence: decisive, encouraging, young despite her years. When Jess visits her in the hospital, she is alarmed to find her grandmother frail and confused. It’s even more alarming to hear from Nora's housekeeper that Nora had been distracted in the weeks before her accident and had fallen on the steps to the attic—the one place Jess was forbidden from playing in when she was small.

At loose ends in Nora's house, Jess does some digging of her own. In Nora's bedroom, she discovers a true crime book, chronicling the police investigation into a long-buried tragedy: the Turner Family Tragedy of Christmas Eve, 1959. It is only when Jess skims through the book that she finds a shocking connection between her own family and this once-infamous crime—a crime that has never been resolved satisfactorily. And for a journalist without a story, a cold case might be the best distraction she can find…

Someone Knows by Lisa Scottoline

Twenty years ago, in an upscale suburb of Philadelphia, four teenagers spent a summer as closest friends: drinking, sharing secrets, testing boundaries. When a new boy looked to join them, they decided to pull a prank on him, convincing him to play Russian roulette as an initiation into their group. They secretly planned to leave the gun unloaded—but what happened next would change each of them forever.

Now three of the four reunite for the first time since that horrible summer. The guilt—and the lingering question about who loaded the gun—drove them apart. But after one of the group apparently commits suicide with a gun, their old secrets come roaring back. One of them is going to figure out if the new suicide is what it seems, and if it connects to the events of that long-ago summer. Someone knows exactly what happened—but who? And how far will they go to keep their secrets buried?

The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai

In 1985, Yale Tishman, the development director for an art gallery in Chicago, is about to pull off an amazing coup, bringing in an extraordinary collection of 1920s paintings as a gift to the gallery. Yet as his career begins to flourish, the carnage of the AIDS epidemic grows around him. One by one, his friends are dying and after his friend Nico's funeral, the virus circles closer and closer to Yale himself. Soon the only person he has left is Fiona, Nico's little sister.

Thirty years later, Fiona is in Paris tracking down her estranged daughter who disappeared into a cult. While staying with an old friend, a famous photographer who documented the Chicago crisis, she finds herself finally grappling with the devastating ways AIDS affected her life and her relationship with her daughter. The two intertwining stories take us through the heartbreak of the eighties and the chaos of the modern world, as both Yale and Fiona struggle to find goodness in the midst of disaster.

Lawrence Daws (b. 1927, Adelaide) is a major figure of modern and contemporary Australian art. He has sustained a successful career as a painter and printmaker for over a half a century. Daws’ depictions of the Australian landscape are as unique as the psychological landscapes he often grafts within them. His works are a personal journey of self-awareness and discovery, and often about the formal qualities of paint itself – "Even when a painting is full of menace, I try to paint it in a beautiful way so you're seduced by the paint quality and you don't get subsumed by the horror."

Growing up on the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia, Daws studied engineering and architecture at the University of Adelaide before moving to study at the Melbourne National Art School between 1950-1953. He first attracted serious critical attention when he co-exhibited with Donald Laycock, Clifton Pugh and John Howley at the Victorian Artists Society gallery in Melbourne in 1955.
