Night Wall I is a sculpture by Louise Nevelson, installed outside Hauser Hall at Harvard Law School,[1] on the Harvard University campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. The 1972 painted steel sculpture was donated to Harvard University Art Museums by Mildred and Arnold Glimcher in 1985.[2]

The artwork was surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1995.[3] It was restored and reinstalled in 2013; funding for the restoration was provided by the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Harvard Law School.[4]
