A London art gallery has come under fire over the Vincent Van Gogh souvenirs it is selling in conjunction with a major exhibition of some of the artist’s work, including his infamous self-portrait with a bandaged ear.
Products picked by the Courtauld Gallery, located in Somerset House in central London, include socks, scarfs, jigsaws, postcards and print mementoes of his best-known paintings. But critics have said some items for sale appear to make light of the mental illness Van Gogh is known to have suffered, which culminated in his suicide.
