Saul Bass in Sacramento
Posted on April 14th, 2010 by steve
Located on the corner of 16th and Q Streets in Sacramento stands a colorful pole sculpture whose history is tied to that of legendary designer Saul Bass.
And back in 2006, former ADAC president Michael Kennedy dug up a ton of history/detail on the construct – which he compiled in an article for the club’s newsletter.
I’m reposting that article here.
Today, the sculpture is a nice punctuation for Sacramento’s coolest restaurant, Hot Italian. A study in stark black and white interior and graphic design, Hot Italian sits directly across the street.
Recently, I took some night shots.

Saul Bass is my hero. I need to go stare at this for an hour now.
