Matthew Perry died in 2023 at age 54, with acute effects of ketamine as the primary cause. Items include the script for the Friends pilot (working title Six of One) signed by Perry and his co-stars, starting at $500, and a collection of 26 Friends scripts from key episodes bundled with a starting price of $1,000. Perry's Screen Actors Guild award from 1995 is available for purchase, along with a personal replica of the yellow peephole frame from Monica and Rachel's apartment.
An original Banksy artwork is expected to sell for more than $800,000. Other items include a Batman watch, a custom Batman ping-pong table (missing the net), and framed handwritten lyrics by Little River Band. The auction site opened on Tuesday, and items will be on display in Beverly Hills from 18-29 May before the auction on 5 June.
Matthew believed addiction should be met with compassion and science, not stigma and silence. 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.
