Inner Search is a pyramidal welded steel sculpture designed by American artist Mark di Suvero, for an exterior plaza outside the Wells Fargo Operations Center in Downtown West, Minneapolis.

[1] California artist Mark di Suvero was first commissioned for the project in October 1979 by Northwestern National Bank to construct a 30 to 40 foot sculpture on the plaza outside their new Operations Center in Downtown West, Minneapolis.

[2] He was selected at the suggestion of consulting firm Kathy Lucoff Fine Arts by a committee of representatives from the bank and Peterson, Clark & Associates, the project's architect.

[8] John Morrison, then-chief officer of Northwestern National Bank, hosted a luncheon in di Suvero's honor at the employee dining facilities of the new Operations Center.

[5] Design elements of Inner Search included a shape that, when giving off the sun's reflection, would create a warmer surrounding environment, which du Suvero said would be warm and cozy.

[5] According to Martin Friedman, di Suvero's friend and former director of the nearby Walker Art Center, the sculpture was inspired by the eye and pyramid features on the United States one-dollar bill.

[8] The Minneapolis Tribune also provided a positive review, claiming the city was lucky to be its home and writing of its dedication ceremony: "One got the feeling that had there been any members of the House of Medici present, they would have certainly nodded their approval [...] They would have liked it that the bank had chosen an internationally famous sculptor who has about him the robust air of the artist-statesman so familiar to that Renaissance dynasty.

He revealed that, in 1980, a large sculpture of a "quintessential Minnesota babushka" was also suggested for display as public art in Minneapolis, and classified Inner Search as the "more sophisticated" choice.
