Review:
The New York Earth Room is a unique installation sculpture located within a loft in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood, designed by artist Walter de Maria in 1977. The installation, which was originally developed as a temporary gallery exhibition and preserved permanently in 1980 through the work of the Dia Foundation, preserves more than 140 tons of earthen soil within a 250-cubic-yard indoor installation, measuring 22 inches deep. Visitors can view the installation for free Wednesdays through Sundays, with the exception of major national holidays. Photography of the installation is not permitted, and visitors are not permitted to touch or enter the soil surface.
