Thanks to today's excellent auction results at Freeman's | Hindman, the Foundation is well on its way to meeting two important goals: significant reduction of our long-standing obligation to retire the loan from the 2007 purchase of the collection, and continued care and stewardship of the 1,400 items we have retained—about 90% of the overall collection. As a national non-profit, this marks a significant step forward for our organization and its future philanthropic and educational mission.
