Keith Haring's Ten Commandments

I went to see Keith Haring's Ten Commandments at the Deitch Gallery in Queens, NY. Haring painted these enormous and mysterious 26-feet-tall canvases in Bordeaux, and until now, they have never been seen in the U.S.

I use the word mysterious, because as one views Haring's representations, it becomes difficult to understand which painting represents which commandment. Haring did not say which is which; some commandments, for example, 'Keep the Sabbath holy,' are more abstract than others, such as "Thou shalt not steal." This latter commandment is shown as someone stealing, the opposite of the commandment. Go see this show, it is wonderful.
