Tate Modern to display nude picture of 10-year-old Brooke Shields Alongside Pornographic Images
A nude photograph of Brooke Shields at the age of ten is to be displayed at the Tate Modern.
The decision to display the photograph of the actress has shocked critics, who yesterday called for it to be withdrawn.
They claimed the work, entitled Spiritual America, could attract paedophiles to the gallery.
The image will go on display from tomorrow in an exhibition also featuring explicit sex acts and works made from the covers of pornography magazines.
Richard Prince's 1983 image of Miss Shields shows her naked, oiled and wearing make-up, looking directly at the viewer.
It is hung in a room at the gallery in London with a notice on the door warning visitors they may find the image 'challenging'.
