WDCB's Gary Zidek profiles Hindman Auction House.
“This is something I think every auction house is working on changing the narrative of, it’s considered to be sort of a rich man’s game, and quite frankly it couldn’t be further from the truth.” - Hindman CEO Thomas Galbraith talking about a popular misperception of auctions.
There a lot of antiquated ideas about auctions, from what’s available to how much things cost. But you might be surprised by what you find on auction …
Chicago-based Hindman Auction House wants to change the way people think about the auction process. Hindman CEO Thomas Galbraith believes one of the keys to changing those perceptions is by attracting people to the experience of a live auction. Hindman recently opened a new auction space at its West Loop office (1338 West Lake Street, Chicago).
Hindman conducts hundreds of auctions throughout the year, in-person and online, in categories such as jewelry, fine art, modern design, books & manuscripts, furniture, decorative arts, couture, and more. You can see what auctions are coming up here.
Hindman just completed a “Summer Fashion & Accessories” auction. This week the company will conduct a “Fine Furniture, Decorative Arts and Silver” auction. You can find out more by visiting hindmanauctions.com
