I cross-checked six PAIPP listings, as noted below. The score: no obvious errors. Some information I couldn't confirm (which doesn't mean it's wrong). Unless we have more, we don't have much evidence of widespread inaccuracy on the PAIPP site. What I did notice is that, compared with other sources, PAIPP listings are pretty sparse compared to what else is online. The most notable features are the photos (copyrighted) and map location. In other words, there is usually scant reason to cite PAIPP (unless you are trying to promote it).

To get these, I started with the Wikipedia category "Outdoor sculptures in Greater Los Angeles". Then cross-referenced with the PAIPP site to see if the work was listed.


 * Wikipedia: Aquarius (sculpture); PAIPP: Aquarius (1969) by Jerome Kirk Description and artist statement: can't confirm
 * W: Four Arches; P: Four Arches (1973) by Alexander Calder: Description, partly confirmed: the materials and size are consistent with Calder Foundation description. The best source is probably from the property owner.
 * W: Night Sail; P: Night Sail (1985) Dimensions: consistent with property owner statement.
 * W: Peace on Earth (Lipchitz); P: Night Sail (1985 Louise Nevelson) Relocation story confirmed by construction company that moved it. The latter claims the work is 15 tons; PAIPP says 10 tons. An archived Smithsonian listing also says 10 tons.
 * W: Statue of Bruce Lee (Los Angeles); P: Bruce Lee Statue (artist unknown) A Los Angeles Times article confirms PAIPP's account.
 * W: Ulysses (sculpture); P: Ulysses (1988) by Alexander Libermann : height and material cooberated by Art@Site
