Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) — Actor Jim Carrey is offering his five-bedroom, nine-bathroom mansion in California for sale for approximately $29 million.
The sprawling 12,700-square-foot property, in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, sits on more than two acres of land, according to Sotheby’s International Realty, which is handling the sale.
The series of photos accompanying the show show all the trappings of the celebrity mansion, from a grand piano to an outdoor tennis court. But the photos also offer a more personal glimpse into the life of the soon-to-be former resident, and his own artwork.
In addition to acting, Curry is a painter and sculptor, who has exhibited in galleries in the United States and Canada. In addition to his recent NFT collection, the scathing political cartoon, which he posted regularly on Twitter during the Donald Trump administration, the actor is known for his colorful paintings on canvas.
Among the images we see in the photos is the “Hooray We Are All Broken” painting, which depicts four dotted abstract shapes on a bright background. Meanwhile, a picture of a garden shows a nude bronze sculpture of him he calls “Ayla”.
There are many other original Carys drawings on display, including paintings that appeared in the 2017 short documentary I Need Color, in which the Hollywood star describes his artistic path.
“When I started drawing, I became so obsessed that I had nowhere to move around my house,” he said in the short film (Six Minutes). He continued, “The paintings were everywhere. They became part of the furniture; I would eat on them.”
“You can tell what I like by the color of the paintings,” he added. “She can tell about my inner life by the darker colors in some of them. You can tell what I want by the brightness in some of them.” The artwork is not believed to be included in the $28.9 million asking price, nor are the framed Riddler costume from Carrey’s performance in 1995’s “Batman Forever.”
Whoever buys this light-filled 1950s home will enjoy a home movie theater and a waterfall falling into the pool.
In a statement sent to the Wall Street Journal, Curry explained his decision to leave his home, which he has owned for nearly 30 years, because he no longer spends much time there. He said it before quoting David Bowie’s famous song: “Ch-ch-ch-Changes!”
