Anchored in a brick-floored fjord formed by towering bookend office buildings is "Night Sail" (1983-1986), a seminal sculpture by Louise Nevelson. A soaring, dense, black form, the sculpture is a striking assemblage, both brooding and brilliant, a landmark in the meandering Wells Fargo Center. A few steps beyond, near the entrance to the welcoming Wells Fargo Court, is a contrasting sculpture, "Sequi" by Nancy Graves, 1986.

The Court is a glass-walled atrium, landscaped with flowering plants, leafy trees, flowing fountains and scattered Robert Graham sculptures; a pleasant place to sit and watch the ebb and flow of resident office workers after feasting at one of the range of eateries, from fast to fancy, that edge the interior garden.

On the lower level scanning and seemingly enjoying the street scene is a singular sculpture by Jean Dubuffet known as "Le Dandy," 1982, a carved comical cartoon fashioned after a French literary character who strolled the boulevards of Paris in the mid-19th Century. In flagrant red and black designs, he appears a Pop Art figure very much at ease in L. A.
