The signage at the entrance to the Blairs Apartments is designed by artist Barton Rubenstein.
As a former scientist who studied human visual perception, Barton Rubenstein has always been keenly interested in the visual forms of nature, especially those of water and motion. The works at The Blairs celebrate various patterns of these elements, treating them as sculptural forms unto themselves. The kinetic and water sculptures for The Blairs complex include the Blairs Sign Sculpture, a 50 foot water sculpture and main entrance sign.
