@tinderella1844 Tony and Elham Salameh have single handedly kept downtown Beirut alive. Thanks to them we still have Christmas vibes year after year in downtown Beirut. They put in the effort when no one else does.
We should be hoping they continue spreading light and joy for years to come.

These rare sculptures by the legendary Basbous brothers are superb and symbolic.
Alfred Basbous’s gorgeous Marble sculpture was finalized 50 years ago, in 1973. He called it « A Secret Love », probably inspired by Marc Chagall’s Lovers paintings.
Michel Basbous’s long Wood Sculpture is from 1967. It is also quite sexy and soberly elegant. Michel’s reputation now transcends Lebanese borders. https://t.co/6M3VbtDlbQ
The auction is organized by Nada Boulos Al Assaad @nadab12. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are bidding wars…
