It looks more like a bad Photoshop!! The face looks so much older...though I shouldn't be surprised as a former model myself; we all seem to possess facial structures that seem more mature, even at a young age. I'm just raising a technical matter here, no opinion on whether this is art or pornography (yes, I know this was back in 2009).... Wow, this is what a ten year-old girl looks like nude?!?!

I'm actually offended that the headline is 'Richard Prince piece removed from the Tate.' Well, you can debate all you want whether or not the photograph of a 10 year old Brooke Shields should be displayed in public, but please don't attribute it to the rip-off artist (oh, excuse me, its "appropriation specialist") Richard Prince. Though a few of his original pieces are not totally devoid of talent, the ones which have made him a household name in non-discerning houses (like, say, the Guggenheim) are pieces of magazine work which he has so cleverly photographed and copied in ways that add multiple layers of insight and intelligence. Insight, intelligence? Oh wait, that must be some OTHER artist. It's disgusting that we are even acknowledging that Mr Rip Off Prince is being displayed at the Tate, a gallery which has occasionally displayed actual works of art by actual artists. Next time I'm at the Tate, I'll take my Speed Graphic and appropriate a few images by whats-his-name.. Turner, or something like that. Kind of blurry looking water colory looking paintings, but I need new material for Soho Gallery show. I'm sure they won't mind. I'm not ripping him off, I'm just appropriating.
