Office of Trade & Services Division of corporate Finance Securities and Exchange Commission Masterworks 011, LLC (the “Company”) Offering Statement on Form 1-A Supplemental Response filed May 14, 2020 File No. 024-11198

Dear Sir or Madam:

The following is a narrative response herein keyed to the comments of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) set forth in the Staff’s comment letter to Scott W. Lynn dated May 28, 2020. We trust you shall deem the contents of this transmittal letter responsive to your comment letter.

Supplemental Response filed May 14, 2020

General

1. Comment: We note your response to comment 3, but we are not persuaded by your response. The landing page of your website includes a statement soliciting investors to “Join an exclusive community of blue-chip art investors,” and “Browse paintings to invest in by the most popular blue-chip and established artists.” You also provide quotes from other investors, describing the “incredible opportunity”of investing in art. These statements do not appear to be merely describing the Masterworks platform, but soliciting investors to invest in Masterworks offerings. Therefore, please revise the landing page of your website to include the information required by Securities Act Rule 255(b)(4). Alternatively, please revise your website to remove statements that appear to suggest you are soliciting investments in your offerings.

Response: In light of the Staff’s determination that the landing page of the website includes statements that are soliciting investment in Masterworks offerings, including “Join an exclusive community of blue-chip art investors,” and “Browse paintings to invest in by the most popular blue-chip and established artists,” and quotes describing the “incredible opportunity” of investing in art, Masterworks has added the disclosures required by Securities Act Rule 255 to the landing page of the website. Given that Masterworks has a large number of offering statements on file with the SEC, including qualified offering statements and those awaiting SEC qualification, Masterworks has included an active hyperlink on the main landing page to a separate website page that provides appropriate context and contains direct hyperlinks to all offering circulars currently on file with the SEC.

2. Comment: We note your response to comment 4, but we are not persuaded by your response. While the sponsored ads do not refer to a specific offering or series asset, these ads appear to solicit an investment through the Masterworks platform, which necessarily includes an investment in one of the Masterworks offerings. Therefore, please confirm that you will revise future sponsored advertisements to ensure compliance with Rule 255 of Regulation A.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, Masterworks confirms that it will revise future sponsored advertisements to ensure compliance with the requirements of Rule 255 of Regulation A.

If the Staff has any further comments regarding the offering statement on Form 1-A, please feel free to contact the undersigned.

                                         We note your response to comment 3, but we are not persuaded by your response.
                                         The landing page of your website includes a statement soliciting investors to “Join
                                         an exclusive community of blue-chip art investors,” and “Browse paintings to
                                         invest in by the most popular blue-chip and established artists.” You also provide
                                         quotes from other investors, describing the “incredible opportunity”of investing
                                         in art. These statements do not appear to be merely describing the Masterworks platform,
                                         but soliciting investors to invest in Masterworks offerings. Therefore, please revise
                                         the landing page of your website to include the information required by Securities Act
                                         Rule 255(b)(4). Alternatively, please revise your website to remove statements that appear
                                         to suggest you are soliciting investments in your offerings.
