The Broken Kilometer
- ... that 500 brass rods have been sitting on the floor in a SoHo storefront since 1979? "...is composed of 500 highly polished, round, solid brass rods...The Broken Kilometer has been on long-term view to the public since 1979."[1]
- ALT1:... that the 500 brass rods that make up Walter De Maria's The Broken Kilometer are polished every two years? "We are polishing it every two years"[2]

Hi Found5dollar, review follows: article moved to mainspace 21 August; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources to my unartistic eye; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing and all quotes are properly attributed; hooks are both interesting, they are mentioned in the article and backed up by the sources. My only query is if there is a source that explicitly calls the site a "storefront"? The term is not mentioned in the article main text and the site is only noted to be a former gallery; a QPQ has been carried out - Dumelow (talk) 05:07, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
- Dumelow, thank you for your review! i have added a new source that explicitly calls the street level room which houses The Broken Kilometer a "storefront" [3] and added the word 2 more times to the article.Please let me know if there are any additional issues. --Found5dollar (talk) 15:47, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi Found5dollar, yep all good for me - Dumelow (talk) 16:57, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
