New York Earth Room

New York Earth Room Review

Walter De Maria's 1977 avant-garde work consists of 140 tons of gently sculpted soil (22 inches deep) filling 3,600 square feet of a second-floor gallery maintained by the Dia Art Foundation. You cannot touch or tread on the dirt, nor can you take its photo, but it has been valued at $1 million. If you like the work, check out de Maria's Broken Kilometer, a few blocks away at 393 West Broadway.
