Night Sail, Steel sculpture in Bunker Hill, Los Angeles, United States.
Night Sail is a 1985 steel sculpture in Bunker Hill consisting of 33 tons of aluminum and steel painted in black matte, featuring nautical and geometric forms. The artwork stands in Wells Fargo Center Plaza between two office towers and serves as a gathering point for downtown visitors.
The artwork was commissioned in 1985 by the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles as part of urban revitalization efforts in Bunker Hill. It marked a period when the neighborhood was undergoing significant transformation and change.
The sculpture reflects Louise Nevelson's signature approach of layering found objects into monochromatic abstract compositions that interact with light and shadow.
The sculpture sits in Wells Fargo Center Plaza between two office towers and is easily accessible from nearby streets. The plaza allows you to view the black metal form from multiple angles as you walk around it.
The title references open vistas that Nevelson observed in the then-undeveloped Bunker Hill area, linking nautical elements with urban space. This connection between maritime forms and the evolving neighborhood gives the work particular meaning.
