Matthew Perry\u2019s collection of \u201cFriends\u201d memorabilia, fine art and other prized possessions is going up for auction next month, nearly three years after the actor died at age 54. <\/p>\n
Auction house Heritage Auctions announced<\/a> Tuesday that it will partner with the Matthew Perry Foundation to sell the late actor\u2019s collection. The proceeds will go toward the nonprofit, which seeks to support people living with addiction and move past the stigma that surrounds substance use abuse disorder. <\/p>\n The auction for items from Perry\u2019s estate officially begins June 5, but interested buyers can preview the items from May 18 to May 29 at Heritage Auction\u2019s showroom in Beverly Hills. They can also start placing proxy bids. The listed items notably include plenty of \u201cFriends\u201d memorabilia, ranging from art pieces depicting the TV cast to magazines featuring the \u201cFriends\u201d crew and Perry to episode scripts signed by the cast. Currently, the bid for the signed script of the \u201cFriends\u201d pilot is set at $3,600. <\/p>\n Perry\u2019s painted portraits are up for sale as are his Screen Actors Guild Award from 1995 (he and his co-stars won the prize for performance by an ensemble in a television comedy) and trio of nomination certificates. Perry famously portrayed the wisecracking Chandler Bing in the hit sitcom, which aired on NBC from 1994 to 2004. He starred alongside Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston. <\/p>\n Before his death, Perry shared his love for Batman via social media, often calling himself \u201cMattman.\u201d His Batman fandom is also abundantly clear in the more than two dozen items of Batman-inspired art, furniture and trinkets that are also up for sale. <\/p>\n The actor and author\u2019s personal art and vintage movie posters collection \u2014 including a pair of Banksy works, a piece by Pablo Picasso and a framed \u201cIt\u2019s a Wonderful Life\u201d movie poster signed by its star James \u201cJimmy\u201d Stewart\u2014 are among the listings. A handful of miscellaneous items \u2014 sports gear and equipment, a Nintendo GameCube, accessories and fine jewelry and a black bi-fold wallet \u2014 are also up for auction. The full catalog of listed items can be found on the website for Heritage Auctions.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cMatthew believed addiction should be met with compassion and science, not stigma and silence,\u201d Lisa Kasteler Calio, chief executive of the Matthew Perry Foundation, said in Tuesday\u2019s announcement. \u201cThis auction fuels the Foundation\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Perry, who had been open about his struggles with addiction, died Oct. 28, 2023, from acute effects of ketamine<\/a>, a drug sometimes used to treat depression, officials said. The woman known as the \u201cketamine queen\u201d who provided the drugs that killed Perry was sentenced last month<\/a> to 15 years in prison. Jasveen Sangha pleaded guilty in September to one count of maintaining drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.latimes.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Matthew Perry\u2019s collection of \u201cFriends\u201d memorabilia, fine art and other prized possessions is going up for auction next month, nearly three years after the actor died at age 54.
