It is undoubtedly one of the most unusual attractions. In New York, an apartment that costs more than a million dollars has been filled with soil since 1977. Located at 141 Wooster Street, between Prince and Houston, it welcomes at least 100 onlookers a day.
The 3,600 square foot unit is located on the second floor of an old and luxurious residential building and contains 140 tons of soil that covers the floor. The work is by artist Walter De Maria, who created The New York Earth Room in 1977. It was commissioned by the Dia Art Foundation, which still maintains the property.
