Our History
Leslie Hindman founded her eponymous auction house in Chicago in 1982, and the firm grew to be one of the largest auction houses in the United States. In 2018, Hindman was formed through the merger of two premier auction houses, Leslie Hindman Auctioneers (est. 1982) and Cowan’s Auctions (est. 1995). Hindman celebrated its 40th anniversary in October 2022.
