 Nude image of Brooke Shields removed from museum
A controversial piece of art based on a 1975 nude photograph of actress Brook Shields has been removed from a London art exhibit over assumption of breaching U.K.'s obscenity laws. The piece shows ten year old Brooke Shields, nude, oiled, and heavily made-up, standing in a bathtub and looking directly at the camera.
Britain's Tate Modern gallery said that on Thursday it had closed a room at its new blockbuster exhibition that contains a 1983 piece by American artist Richard Prince based on a nude photograph of actress Brooke Shields taken in 1975. The Tate acted after police launched an investigation.
The Tate Modern took down the provocative 1983 piece called "Spiritual America" by American artist, Richard Prince.
The artwork was based on the infamous image of Brooke Shields taken by photographer Garry Gross.
