Overview
- Heritage Auctions sold 127 items in Dallas on Friday, June 5, raising $2.216 million that will be directed to the Matthew Perry Foundation.
- Two Banksy works drew the largest sums, totaling roughly $1.3 million with 'Girl with Balloon' closing at about $1.18 million after buyer fees and 'Nola' selling for about $118,000.
- Television memorabilia also commanded high prices: the Friends series finale script signed by the full cast sold for more than $93,000 and the original pilot manuscript fetched over $53,000.
- The sale takes place against an ongoing legal aftermath: five people have been convicted in connection with Perry’s 2023 death and former assistant Kenneth Iwamasa received a prison term of more than three years in May 2026.
- Perry’s family and auction house say the money will fund addiction-recovery work and stigma reduction at the foundation, a result that could boost services and focus public attention on how celebrity estates handle charitable gifts.
