In the fine art, antiques, and collectibles realm, the sense of community is strong, and business is based on relationships. Even competitors know each other’s work and are often in the same professional circles.
Recently, two of WorthPoint’s valued Industry Partners, Hindman and Freeman’s, have announced plans to merge and use their combined presence to offer buyers and sellers a comprehensive suite of services in the upper-middle auction market. Going forward, the two auction houses will operate singularly as Freeman’s | Hindman, with a newly designed website for handling targeted online initiatives.
The company will establish a new joint salesroom in New York City, in the heart of the Upper East Side’s art district. The 5,000-square foot location, combined with a robust online presence, ensures that Freeman’s | Hindman can meet the needs of an ever-changing market, both online and in-person.
Alyssa D. Quinlan is the combined company’s chief executive officer after serving as Hindman’s CEO since January 2023. The merger means that as CEO, Quinlan will oversee six salesrooms and eighteen regional offices in the United States, giving Freeman’s | Hindman the largest coast-to-coast presence of any auction house in the country. The company also plans to expand its international services globally.
On the heels of Hindman’s most successful year in 2022 and continued strength in 2023, I’m thrilled to build upon our momentum and oversee a merged Freeman’s | Hindman. Our clients are always our top priority, and I am confident that a combined company will only benefit our buyers and sellers as we further expand both our national and global reach. I look forward to working with and learning from the Freeman’s team, as our shared vision will ensure a unique company culture, underpinned by integrity and professionalism, and overlaid with enthusiasm and empathy.
