It was located at the Bank One building, 500 Throckmorton Street, Fort Worth, Texas. It was commissioned by Fort Worth National Bank. It was constructed in 1971 of painted sheet steel. It was erected, and dedicated on February 15, 1974. It was relocated in 2000 after being purchased by the Seattle Art Museum with funding from Jon and Mary Shirley. [3]

gollark: In JS, numbers are 64-bit floats, with no ability to have integers, smaller floats or bigger floats with native operator support.
