Freeman's | Hindman is one of the only major auction houses outside of New York to hold sales dedicated to European Art and Old Masters.
A strong emphasis on selectivity and connoisseurship paired with highly academic and thoroughly researched essays, has yielded Freeman’s | Hindman consignors consistently strong results. Sales include British and Continental paintings, works on paper, prints, and sculpture ranging from the 15th to early 20th century, from such schools as the Renaissance, the Baroque, the Barbizon, and feature examples by important artists of the Baroque, Pre-Raphaelites, Barbizon, La Belle Epoque, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism schools. The firm has realized major successes with 19th-century French Impressionist paintings and sculptures by Eugène Boudin, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Berthe Morisot, Blanche Hoschedé Monet, Henry Moret, Maurice Utrillo, Lê Phổ, and Jean Dufy, among others.
Notable sale results include Paul Cézanne’s La Vie des Champs ($1.45M) from The Collection of Dorrance "Dodo" H. Hamilton; Nursing Madonna by The Master of the Embroidered Foliage ($2.47M)–the highest price realized for an Old Master painting in the US outside of New York and a world-record price for the artist; and White Interior by Carl Moll ($4.75M)—a new auction record for the artist and almost ten times the artist's previous auction record.
