Glasgow council urged to sell Salvador Dalí painting in Kelvingrove to meet equal pay bills

Salvador Dalí's Christ of Saint John of the Cross should be sold to meet Glasgow City Council's equal pay bills, according to a top trade unionist.

The most popular of all Dali's religious works, the painting is considered the jewel in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum crown and represents a huge draw for the million plus people who visit the museum each year.

Purchased in 1952 for £8,200 (after Dali had initially asked for £12,000), it is said to be worth in the region of £60 million.
