Hindman is one of the nation's leading fine art auction houses. With an unyielding focus on client service, Hindman offers holistic solutions to connect clients in local US cities to the global art market. Hindman operates more salerooms in the United States than any other auction house and conducts over 100 auctions a year in categories such as fine jewelry, fine art, modern design, fine books and manuscripts, furniture, decorative arts, couture, Asian works of art, arts of the American west, numismatics, and more.
Headquartered in Chicago, Hindman is home to 150 employees, with additional offices in Atlanta, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Milwaukee, Naples, Palm Beach, Scottsdale and St. Louis.
Recognized for providing exceptional customer service, Hindman regularly handles significant estates from around the country including collections from Oprah Winfrey, Leona Helmsley, John Belushi, David Stickelber, Lily Pulitzer, Arthur Rubloff, Mrs. Robert R McCormick, the Potter Palmer families, Reid I Martin, and many others.
In 1982, Leslie Hindman founded Leslie Hindman Auctioneers in Chicago, Illinois, and within a few years it grew to be the largest auction house in the Midwest, and one of largest in the country. As a result of the firm's outstanding reputation, it was acquired by Sotheby's in 1997. When the opportunity presented itself, Leslie reopened Leslie Hindman Auctioneers in 2003 and continued her growth trajectory.
Also part of the Hindman family of auction houses, Cowan's Auctions was opened in 1995 by Wes Cowan in Cincinnati, Ohio. Cowan's quickly earned a reputation for integrity, customer service and great results. In 2018, these two firms became the foundation for Hindman, a rapidly growing organization with the ambition to be the nation's most client-centric auction house.

For its inaugural sale of Western Manuscripts and Miniatures, Freeman | Hindman is honored to work with the Senior Consultant, Dr. Sandra Hindman, who curated the selection and prepared the catalogue. Manuscripts and miniatures from four major collections are included: those of Robert “Bob?? McCarthy (London and Hong Kong), Kenneth W. Rendell (Massachusetts), Dr. Scott Schwartz (New York City), and an anonymous California collector. Highlights include a handsome group of Books of Hours, among which the large Hours of Anne Seurot in its original blind-stamped binding by a close follower of the Boucicaut Master, the Master of the Harvard Hannibal, stands out. The earliest group of leaves, including “Atlantic?? Bible fragments, comes from the McCarthy Collection, recently characterized as “arguably the largest and most important private collection of illuminated cuttings, miniatures, and leaves in the world.?? There are attractive illuminated Bible leaves from some of the most sought after and well-known thirteenth-century Bibles – the Chester Beatty Bible, the Mailhac-Faber Bible, and the St. Albans Bible. Miniatures include those from Books of Hours by certain of the best illuminators of fifteenth-century France, the Falstoff Master, the Master of Coetivy, Robert Boyvin, among others. There are some pleasant surprises: the first Calendar Leaf to resurface from the famed Llangattock Breviary (along with other leaves from this Renaissance masterpiece), a Hebrew page from the Cairo Genizah of Maimonides discussing marriage, a signed and dated Polish Choir Book, a document of an English knight featured in Shakespeare’s Richard II.Bidder Reviews for Freeman's | Hindman (1,551)

Hindman is always reliable
Between Santa Fe Art Auction, Hindman, Heritage, Bonham and Moran, I have built a large part of my collection. There are other fine auction houses, but for top of the line vintage Navajos, these people know their art.

In House Shipping for Jewelry
They were incredibly accomodating with my jewelry purchase. Other auction houses require you to make your own arrangements on shipping, even when it is for a small piece of high-end jewelry. Hindman's took care of the shipping for me, at a very reasonble cost. Made the transaction much more comfortable.
