Los Angeles Modern Auctions (LAMA)

Famed for his singular brand of innovative comedy and his spectacular range as an actor, Jim Carrey has, over several decades, taken an organic and intuitive approach to building his collection of art and design. Unlike many celebrities, Carrey—the New York Times-bestselling author and star of films including Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, The Truman Show, Man on the Moon, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind—did not begin collecting art through an advisor, but instead purchased what most compelled him. As a contemporary artist himself, Carrey’s eye has drawn him towards vibrant, graphic paintings and prints, to bold contemporary design, as well as photography and a few surprises, ultimately comprising a collection as eccentric, electric, and inspired as Carrey himself.
