Oct. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Tate Modern reopened a Richard Prince room that was temporarily closed on Sept. 30 for showing “Spiritual America” (1983), an image of Brooke Shields as an undressed child. The work has been replaced.

The exhibition room, which Tate was in talks with the police about, now displays another Richard Prince image, made in collaboration with Shields and titled “Spiritual America 4 2005,” Tate said in an e-mailed release. That image shows the adult Shields in a brown bikini, leaning against a motorbike.

The replacement was made “in consultation with the artist,” the Tate release said.

The catalog, which contained the original image, has been withdrawn from circulation. “Tate is in discussions with legal advisers about the catalog,” Tate said today.

“Pop Life,” an exhibition currently on at Tate Modern (Oct. 1, 2009 - Jan. 17, 2010), shows the interaction between artists, money and celebrity since the days of Andy Warhol.

The room was closed after the obscene publications squad of the Metropolitan Police visited it.
