A Season of Firsts
To Our Dear Clients and Friends,
As we welcome the changing of the seasons, Freeman’s | Hindman is excited to present a season of remarkable firsts across our six salerooms. Our autumn commences in Philadelphia on September 10th with the Books and Manuscripts sale, featuring a rare historical gem: The Destruction of the Bastille. This ink-wash drawing, crafted just weeks after the Bastille fell, was a gift to George Washington from the esteemed French military leader, the Marquis de Lafayette. The season continues with our Important Jewelry sale in Chicago on September 12, showcasing exquisite pieces from the Shawver Art Collection Trust and notable highlights from the Collection of Audre Deckmann Carlin.
In New York, we will host our inaugural various-owner Asian Works of Art auction in our new Upper East Side saleroom during Asia Week, while in Chicago we will present our Post War and Contemporary Art sale on September 25 and our first Fine Art auction dedicated to Pablo Picasso on the 26th. This will be followed by the merged firm’s first Impressionist and Modern Art auction on October 28, held in Philadelphia.
Our commitment to single-owner sales remains strong, with a series of auctions featuring fine art, furniture, decorative arts, design, books and manuscripts, American historical ephemera, and early photography across our Chicago, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia salerooms. Featuring collections and estates from across the country, we are pleased to offer property from South of Broad: The Charleston Home of Darla Moore by Tony Ingrao, For the Love of Barnes: The Collection of Dr. Richard J. Wattenmaker, and Wedgwood and European Ceramics from the Dr. Ellis F. Rubin & Suzanne Borow Rubin Collection, among many others.
The season will conclude with a series of notable Fine Art auctions featuring works by some of today’s most sought-after artists including Lynn Chadwick, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Louise Nevelson, Pablo Picasso, and Blanche Hoschedé Monet, among others. We look forward to welcoming you to our six salerooms nationwide this fall.
Sincerely,
Alyssa D. Quinlan
