Cindy Sherman and her macaw, Mister Frieda, strike a pose.
Sherman’s 1840s Greek Revival home in Sag Harbor.
Much of the art on Sherman’s walls is the work of friends or yard-sale finds. In the living room, a trio of collages by Margaret Lee adds bright contrast to a painting by Rima Mardoyan; the poufs are from Future Perfect.
Sherman has experimented with vibrant colors throughout the house, such as chartreuse in the sitting room.
In the spare, rough-hewn kitchen, a painting by Peter Dayton hangs on the wall.
A butter yellow color palate in the dining room compliments an arrangement of vintage photographs, which hang above a rustic table and two delicate side chairs.
A guest bedroom on the attic level was once Sherman’s studio and has since been converted into a restful retreat.
Turquoise, persimmon, and red make a powerful palette in a guest bedroom.
