Hindman

Hindman was an auction house in US with its headquarters in Chicago which merged with fellow US saleroom Freeman's to form Freeman's Hindman. The first sales under the new brand were held in early 2024.

The original firm was founded by Leslie Hindman in 1982 and, following a private-equity backed deal announced in 2019, it brought together with Cowan's Auctions under the same umbrella company.
