The gallery said the incident had caused minor damage to the frame but the painting was unharmed. It later went back on display.
Police said two women, aged 21 and 20, would appear later at Westminster Magistrates' Court charged with "criminal damage to the frame of van Gogh's Sunflowers painting". Another activist will also appear in court accused of damaging the sign outside the New Scotland Yard police headquarters in central London.
