Comment on the statement on dimensions: "The sculpture is described as 14.0 feet (4.3 m) in height and 8 feet (2.4 m) in diameter by the Smithsonian Institution[4] and it sits atop a base that is 1.5 feet (0.46 m) in height and 10 feet (3.0 m) in diameter.[1] However, the University of Chicago says it is only 12 feet (3.7 m) in height.[5] The Henry Moore Foundation lists its height at 3.66m.[3]" Since 3.66 m - 12 feet, it seems obvious that the sculpture itself is 12 feet in height and that the Smithsonian is including the base and rounding up to 14 feet. The translation of 12 feet to 3.7 m is itself rounded up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cwtyler ( talk • contribs) 14:31, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
