Acceleration Request

Requested Date: September 9, 2020

Requested Time: 9:00 AM Eastern Time

Dear Sir or Madam:

Masterworks 017, LLC (the “Company”) hereby requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) take appropriate action to declare the above-captioned Offering Statement on Form 1-A qualified at the “Requested Date” and “Requested Time” set forth above or as soon thereafter as practicable.

The Company hereby authorizes Josh Goldstein, inhouse legal counsel, and or Craig D. Linder, who is an attorney with the Company’s outside legal counsel, Anthony L.G., PLLC, to orally modify or withdraw this request for acceleration.

The Company hereby acknowledges that:

● should the Commission or the staff of the Commission, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing qualified, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

● the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing qualified, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

● the Company may not assert the staff comments and the declaration of qualification as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

The Company also agrees that it will only sell shares of its Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the subject Offering Statement in states where the offering is registered or where there is an applicable exemption from the applicable state’s securities law available.
