TEN COMMANDMENTS BY KEITH HARING
Posted on 16. Feb, 2009 by ART BATTERY GROUP in THE ART HEADS SPEAK OUT
The Ten Commandments were painted on the occasion of Haring’s first one-person museum show at the Contemporary Art Museum in Bordeaux, France in 1985. The paintings are acrylic and oil on canvas and are each approximately 25 feet high by 17.5 feet wide. Keith had stretchers made and installed to fit the large arched spaces on the lower level of the museum, and created the paintings on site.
The series series of paintings, were presented at Deitch Studios, Long Island City, from November 8, 2008 – February 15, 2009. Last Saturday I had the privilege to see the exhibition before its close on Sunday. Truly amazing! ENJOY.
