What Anglim/Trimble does

Anglim/Trimble is a privately held, independent art gallery operating from the Minnesota Street Project at 1275 Minnesota Street in San Francisco. The gallery maintains the legacy of Gallery Paule Anglim, founded in the early 1970s, and its successor Anglim Gilbert Gallery, and represents California and Bay Area artists of historical and contemporary significance — including figures associated with Bay Area Conceptual Art and the California Beat movement such as Joan Brown, Paul Kos, Bruce Conner, and David Ireland. The current roster numbers more than 30 represented artists plus additional collaborating artists, with historical works also offered by artists such as Robert Bechtle, Christopher Brown, and Manuel Neri.

The gallery's core offering is the curation and presentation of rotating exhibitions across two floors of physical gallery space (First-floor Gallery, Second-floor Gallery, and Upstairs Small Gallery), with a current and ongoing exhibition program visible through 2024 and into late 2025. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through in-person viewings and sales at the gallery (Tuesday–Saturday hours), supported by an organic social media presence on Instagram, Facebook, and Vimeo, plus an email newsletter. Artwork pricing is not publicly disclosed and is available upon inquiry, indicating a bespoke, relationship-driven sales process typical of the primary art market.

The business is led by Owner/Director Shannon Trimble, who assumed leadership in 2020 after the deaths of both predecessors (Paule Anglim in 2015 and Ed Gilbert in 2020), with Director Michael Thompson and Researcher/Writer/Editor Sarah Hwang completing a four-person staff. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time art sales transactions and gallery representation agreements; there is no software, digital platform, or technology-enabled component to the business. The gallery is unbacked by venture capital or private equity and operates as a standalone independent entity serving the San Francisco Bay Area market.
