One of the best - loved artists associated with the Pop Art movement, Claes Oldenburg is known for playfully surreal sculptures that
find new meaning in everyday objects by expanding them to a
gargantuan scale or deflating them into floppy, whimsical simulacra.
The Salames, Beirut - based fashion retailers, are among wealthy collectors who snapped up
gargantuan paintings, sculptures, and other showstopping installations at the art fair's Unlimited section, which is dedicated to large -
scale pieces that in the past often didn't
find buyers.
