This past May, Yayoi Kusama’s previously unseen painting ‘INFINITY’ (1995) fetched an impressive $5.94 million USD at Bonhams’ Modern & Contemporary Art auction in Hong Kong. Building on this record-breaking sale, the British auction house is set to host another highly anticipated event featuring the collection of renowned actor Jim Carrey. Known for iconic roles in films like ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ and ‘The Truman Show,’ Carrey is now showcasing a diverse array of fine art and modern design objects at Bonhams LA’s upcoming auction on July 25.
Highlights from Jim Carrey’s Collection
The Modern Design | Art auction will include 35 lots from Carrey’s personal collection. Highlights feature Kenny Scharf’s 2014 graphic oil painting Ice Mont, estimated at $30-40,000 USD, and a David Hockney work on paper depicting one of his iconic pools, with a predicted sale price of $10-20,000 USD. Also included are abstract photographs by Ruth Bernhard and Jacques Lowe. The auction will present 1960s design objects by French sculptor Philippe Hiquily, including a console co-designed with Jean-Claude Farhi, expected to sell for $20-30,000 USD. Additionally, a handwoven rug by Alexander McQueen, adorned with hummingbirds, is valued at $15-20,000 USD.
