An Exeter gallery has said it will continue to sell Rolf Harris paintings following the announcement that the entertainer has been questioned by police over historical allegations of sexual offences.
Surridge Gallery in Princesshay, Exeter currently hold various paintings by the 83-year-old artist and will "continue to sell his fabulous work."
Mr Harris was interviewed under caution after attending police premises in south London by appointment in November. On 28 March he was arrested and bailed until May.
He was held as part of the inquiry set up after claims were made against Jimmy Savile although his arrest is unrelated to the former BBC DJ and TV presenter.
A representative of Surridge Gallery in Exeter said:
"Our Rolf Harris paintings will not be removed and as far as we are concerned he has not been charged and we will continue to sell his fabulous work."
Operation Yewtree was set up following the death of Savile in 2011, when hundreds of sex abuse allegations came to light.
Scotland Yard said in March: "An 82-year-old man from Berkshire was arrested by officers on Operation Yewtree on suspicion of sexual offences.
"He has been bailed to a date in May pending further inquiries. The individual falls under the strand of the investigation we have termed 'others'."
The artist and entertainer, who once painted the Queen, was made a CBE in 2006, and has won many accolades for his artwork and for his contribution to the entertainment industry.
Both Harris and his publicity agent have refused to comment on his arrest, but it is understood the star fiercely denies any wrongdoing.
