Fans Can Own a Piece of Matthew Perry’s Legacy

Nearly three years after his death, Matthew Perry is still connecting with fans, this time through a deeply personal auction that supports addiction recovery.

A collection of Perry’s artwork, memorabilia, and iconic television pieces is now up for sale through Heritage Auctions, with proceeds benefiting the Matthew Perry Foundation. The organization works to expand access to evidence-based treatment and reduce the stigma surrounding addiction, a mission Perry spoke about openly in his lifetime.

Perry died in 2023 following an accidental ketamine overdose after years of publicly documented struggles with substance use. In the years since, his foundation has focused on carrying forward his message: that addiction should be treated with compassion, not judgment.

“Matthew believed addiction should be met with compassion and science, not stigma and silence,” said Lisa Kasteler Calio, CEO of the Matthew Perry Foundation. “This auction fuels the Foundation's work to expand access to evidence-based care and confront stigma. It is one more way we ensure that no one has to fight this disease alone,” she said to People magazine.

Among the Standout Pieces

Here are just a few items that are up for auction.

• A replica of Monica’s iconic Friends apartment door peephole

• 26 original Friends scripts, including a cast-signed series finale
• Artwork from Banksy, including Girl with Balloon
• A “Mattman” portrait featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
• A collectible watch tied to The Dark Knight Rises

Starting bids range from $100 to $400,000.

How the Auction Works

Collectors and fans can preview the items in Beverly Hills from May 18 through May 29. Early proxy bidding began April 30, allowing participants to place advance bids ahead of the main event.

The live auction is scheduled for June 5 and will take place both online and in Dallas, giving people around the world a chance to participate.

More than just a sale, the auction serves as a continuation of Perry’s legacy, one that goes beyond television and into advocacy, recovery, and hope for others facing addiction.
