Ten panels form a continuous frieze depicting an ordinary New York City traffic jam, with the cars closely packed at the center and flowing more smoothly at either end. Each panel illustrates one of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20, iii-xvii). Traffic Frieze was created for temporary installation with a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts and sponsored by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Now in a corporate collection.
