**Spiritual America** was a short‑lived, artist‑run gallery at 5 Rivington Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side that operated from October 28, 1983, to March 1984. The operation kept irregular hours and appointment‑only viewings. The gallery was founded by Kim Fine who mounted the first presentation of Richard Prince’s re‑photograph of a 1970s image of Brooke Shields by Gary Gross, out of her apartment.
