CHICAGO – Hindman will continue to host remote auctions with a week-long lineup of Fine Art and Design auctions beginning May 19. The company’s Post War and Contemporary Art auction offers 74 lots. This exciting week of sales will include a selection of highly curated material with works from top artists and designers. Bid absentee or live online through LiveAuctioneers.

One of the most important collections being offered during this week of Art and Design is the Collection of Norene Goldstein of Chicago. This carefully curated selection, with works spanning all three Fine Art sales, illustrates this exceptional and well-rounded collection.

The Thursday, May 21, Post War and Contemporary Art auction will offer yet another strong selection of works by Chicago Imagists, following up on the record-setting prices achieved for artists from the movement at Hindman in the fall of 2019. Highlighting this round of Imagist offerings are rare and important early-career works by Miyoko Ito (above), Gladys Nilsson (below), Jim Nutt and Barbara Rossi.
