The photo in question is called “Spiritual America” and we won’t be showing it to you here because we like our website very much and would like to keep it. A the center of the controversy is famed artist photographer Richard Prince who snapped the photograph of an original photo taken by Garry Gross when Shields was only 10. She appears standing with her face all made up in a bathtub, skin oiled and topless. The photo was to be exhibited as part of the Tate Modern’s latest show dubbed “Pop Life: Art in a Material World” until British authorities stepped in and closed the exhibit pending review of Child Pornography claims. The telegraph reports a Tate spokesperson as saying…
The exhibit is temporarily closed. We are in discussions with police.
We’ll watch this one can keep you updated on the outcome.

uh, are they going after Blind Faith next?
