Hindman Launches New Chicago Headquarters
CHICAGO – Hindman announces the opening of a new headquarters in Chicago’s West Loop on December 6. After celebrating 40 years as Chicago’s leading auction house with more than ten of those at 1338 West Lake Street, Hindman is pleased to enter its fifth decade of business at a new location in the neighborhood at 1550 West Carroll Avenue, Suite 106. The opening coincides with the first live auction to be presented at the building, Eugène Atget Photographs Sold by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The firm looks forward to welcoming local clients as well as those who have traveled to Chicago into its new full-service saleroom and preview galleries. The Carroll Avenue headquarters is located at The Auxiliary, a historic building which housed the former Benrus Watch Company.
