Kurt Westergaard’s controversial drawing of Islamic prophet Mohammed with a bomb in his turban is proving to be big business for printers, art galleries and – not least – Westergaard himself.
Skanderborg’s Galleri Draupner, which is currently exhibiting all of Jyllands-Posten newspaper’s original drawings, indicated it has sold numerous autographed prints of Westergaard’s illustration.
The Jyllands-Posten Mohammed drawings were first printed in September 2005. The move touched off numerous violent protests worldwide from offended Muslims and resulted in extensive damage to several Danish embassies.
