Freeman’s and Hindman finalize merger
On January 9, auction houses Hindman and Freeman’s announced a merger that would combine six salesrooms and 18 regional offices across the country. The full-service auction company will be known as Freeman’s | Hindman. One of the first actions by the new company was to open a new permanent salesroom in New York City in January 2024. “I’m truly excited to bring together these two esteemed auction houses under one roof,” says Freeman’s | Hindman executive chairman Jay Frederick Krehbiel. “The merger strengthens our advantage in an increasingly competitive auction market and sets us up for continued growth across the United States and globally, especially with Freeman’s existing international relationship with Lyon & Turnbull.” Visit the auction houses on their websites: www.hindmanauctions.com and www.freemansauction.com.

Eiteljorg Museum receives major gift
The Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis has received a legacy gift of $2.75 million from the Christel DeHaan Family Foundation, which has been distributing numerous gifts totaling more than $55 million to nonprofit arts organizations. The legacy gifts were per the wishes of the late Christel DeHaan, the prominent Indianapolis businesswoman and philanthropist, who died in 2020 at age 77. The DeHaan foundation’s gift will be added to the Eiteljorg Museum’s endowment. Of that, $2 million will be used specifically for general operating support of the institution’s greatest needs. Also, $750,000 in the endowment gift will be used to support living artists, such as Native American music and dance groups who perform at the museum. —
