I am deeply disappointed and heartbroken by the experience my family had with Hindman. We entrusted them with a cherished painting from my mom's estate, setting a minimum bid of $5000 (expecting $15k-$30k) due to its significant sentimental and monetary value. Despite our clear instructions, the painting was sold for a mere $350.
This careless oversight has caused my family immense pain and distress. The painting held profound emotional value, and its sale for such a low price feels like a tremendous loss and disrespect to my late mother's memory.
We trusted Hindman to handle our valuable possessions with care and professionalism, but they failed us in the most important aspect. I strongly urge others to consider our experience before choosing to work with this auction house.
It has taken me 5 years to finally get to emotional place to even put this into words, and it's happening today because my son wants to have a tatoo of the painting as a memorialization of my mother's memory. read more
