A £1 million artwork of Donald Trump which portrays the Republican frontrunner in the nude and led to death threats against its artist will be exhibited for the first time at a London gallery.

Controversial Los Angeles artist Illma Gore's mocked-up illustration, called Make America Great Again as a parody of Mr Trump's election slogan, will be shown at Mayfair's Maddox Gallery from this Friday.

The 24-year-old, who claims the piece has led to 1,000 death threats against her, said: "I drew Trump nude, I was evoking a reaction from people.

"So I tried not to think about it until I spoke to a lawyer who suggested I go to the police about it and file a report in case something happens."

After initially posting it on Facebook in February the image was shared more than 260,000 times online.

Ms Gore eventually received a notice saying she had infringed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, forcing it to be taken offline.

The Maddox Gallery's director, James Nicholls, said the piece had provoked a lot of debate because it was "contentious and interesting".

He added: "Some may be offended, but others will see the humour in Gore's work. Maddox Gallery is giving London the chance to view the original artwork and make up their own minds."

Asked why London was a good fit to show her work, Ms Gore said: "It seems like the United Kingdom has such an appreciation for art and is far removed enough to see the idea behind it."
