LONDON, Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Britain's Tate Modern gallery says it has replaced a controversial nude photo of U.S. actress Brooke Shields as a child with an image of her as an adult.

The gallery removed a photo, taken when the 44-year-old star was 10, amid concerns raised by youth advocates that it might violate child pornography laws.

The image, which shows Shields naked and wearing heavy makeup, reportedly was taken with her mother's permission.

The Daily Telegraph said the gallery has replaced the photo with one taken in 2005, showing an adult Shields clad in a bikini, recreating the pose and wearing jewelry similar to what she wears in the original image.

The photo is part of the gallery's "Pop Life: Art In a Material World" exhibition.
