The auction dedicated to Matthew Perry brings together personal items, Friends memorabilia, and works by well-known artists.
The proceeds will go to the foundation created after his death, with the aim of supporting the fight against the stigma associated with addiction.
What does the sale organized by Heritage Auctions offer?
Heritage Auctions will open the sale on the upcoming June 5. The catalog also includes works by Banksy and Mel Bochner. The proceeds will support the Matthew Perry Foundation, a nonprofit organization established after the actor’s death in 2023.
The foundation works to combat the stigma surrounding addiction. In a statement, its CEO recalled that Perry believed it was necessary to address the issue with compassion and science, not with silence and judgment.
That said, the auction sale operation also has a symbolic value. It brings together private memory and social commitment, offering collectors direct access to the actor’s history.

Additionally, there is the Screen Actors Guild Award won by the cast in 1995 and awarded to Perry, as well as works by Banksy collected by the actor.
