A provocative nude picture of a 10-year-old Brooke Shields will appear in a new exhibition at the Tate Modern gallery in London, it was revealed today.
Gallery chiefs said they sought legal advice before including the work, titled ‘Spiritual America’, in the ‘Pop Life: Art In A Material World’ show, which opens on Thursday.
The exhibition also features huge sexually explicit images of penetration and works made from the pages of pornographic magazines.
Richard Princeâs image of Shields shows her from the knees up, naked, oiled and wearing make-up, looking directly at the viewer.
It is hung in a special room at the south London gallery with a notice on the door warning visitors they may find the image âœchallengingâ.

Tuttiâs work caused huge controversy when it first appeared at the ‘Prostitution‘ exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in 1976.
