Tate Modern has banished Richard Prince’s image of ten-year-old Brooke Shields from his Spiritual America exhibition for good. Apparently the decision was made “in consultation with the artist” (helps to spread the blame). In its place Tate Modern has hung a much more tasteful photo of Brooke in a bikini leaning against a motorbike and can now sit back, exhausted but satisfied, in the knowledge it has made the world a safer place for children.
Image: Brooke Shields and motorbike (an OTN re-creation). You can see the Prince shot off-course substitute here.
