Three case studies: Garry Gross, Untitled, 1975
In July 1978, at the age of thirteen, Brooke Shields made front page news in Photo Magazine. The young American film prodigy was promoting the film Pretty Baby directed by Louis Malle. In the magazine, a ten-year old Brooke is shown wearing makeup, her glistening body posed naked in a bathtub. The picture comes from a series taken by Garry Gross, an advertising photographer from New York who was regularly employed by Brooke's mother to photograph her daughter, then a model with the Ford agency. At the time, Gross was working on a project for publication entitled The Woman in the Child, in which he wanted to reveal the femininity of prepubescent girls by comparing them to adult women. Brooke Shields therefore posed for him both as a normal young girl and in the nude, her body heavily made up and oiled. She received a fee of $450 from Playboy Press, Gross's partner in the project. Her mother signed a contract giving Gross full rights to exploit the images of her daughter. The series was first published in Little Women, and then in Sugar and Spice, a Playboy Press publication. Large prints were also exhibited by Charles Jourdan on 5th Avenue in New York.
Shields on itse yrittänyt estää kuva levittämisen jäkikäteen jo vuonna 1981, mutta on hävinnyt oikeusjutun.
