2026 NGV Annual Appeal

The NGV invites you to play a vital role in shaping the future of our Collection by supporting the acquisition of Untitled #16, 1995 by American artist Agnes Martin.

Support the appeal

Relaxed sessions are an opportunity for visitors who could benefit from a quieter Gallery experience to access NGV exhibitions with fewer people and reduced sensory stimuli. This may include people with neurodivergence, disability, dementia or chronic illness conditions. All ages are welcome.

About Ragnar Kjartansson: Mercy
Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson (b. 1976 Reykjavik) is heralded as one of the most distinctive contemporary artists working today. Drawing on Western musical and artistic themes, Kjartansson offers an adoring and satirical spin on literature, cinema and pop music. 

This exhibition, the first of its kind in Australia, presents new and recent video works that define Kjartansson’s art practice, which is steeped in humour, music and theatre.
