Overview
- Heritage Auctions opened the Matthew Perry Estate catalogue, staged public previews in Beverly Hills, and will hold a Signature Floor Session on Friday, June 5 at 12 p.m. ET in Dallas with live online bidding.
- The catalogue highlights a curated mix of pop‑culture and fine art, including a group of 26 'Friends' scripts and two Banksy works, with Banksy’s Girl with Balloon forecast as a top‑priced lot.
- A handwritten letter from Jennifer Aniston was shown in early listings and previews but was later removed from some catalogue entries, while other personal items such as Batman memorabilia and a well‑worn leather wallet remain listed.
- Proceeds are pledged to specific initiatives named by the Matthew Perry Foundation, including an addiction‑medicine fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital, Grassroots Recovery Grants for frontline groups, and the Healing Appalachia sober music festival.
- The auction is framed as both a public way for fans to connect with Perry’s legacy and a practical fundraiser to expand access to evidence‑based addiction treatment, and auction results on June 5 will show how much funding those programs receive.
