Incollect Magazine 51 A Different Home for the Gallery Alejandro E. Trimper approached the question of space differently. He had spent more than a decade at 40 West Putnam Avenue in Greenwich, first helping build Isabella Garrucho Fine Art and then opening Trimper Gallery in the same rooms on January 1, 2023. By August 2025, repeated flooding and heating and cooling problems, limited foot traffic, and difficult parking had made the Greenwich storefront a poor fit for the gallery’s needs. Its closure coincided with rising costs and prominent gallery closures across the art market. Trimper used the transition to reconsider how the gallery’s own address should function and how the work could reach a wider audience. A year of remote work showed that the team still needed a dependable place to collaborate and meet clients. In August 2026, Trimper opened a small, curated office at 200 Pemberwick Road in Greenwich for daily work, meetings, and events. Walk-ins are welcome Monday through Friday; weekends are by appointment. The gallery had a home better suited to the way it was evolving. Meanwhile, the Trimper Gallery/Kanopi partnership developed through months of conversation and a sequence of exhibitions. The first trial placed Tyler Shields’ cinematic fine art photography in the dining area. A bespoke dinner built around paintings by Lincoln Townley followed. The third presentation, HARINGS!, brought original Keith Haring subway drawings into Kanopi in August 2025. Time Out New York and Family Style ran features describing HARINGS! as a presentation in which the artwork, music, food and identity of the room responded to one another. The coverage brought wider attention, and the relationship continued beyond the exhibition’s closing date. Trimper says the collaboration expanded from smaller displays in the dining area to an ongoing presentation of multiple artists across almost every available wall. What had become Trimper Gallery Lounge at Kanopi appeared on the website Artsy as an appointment-based gallery presentation. Kanopi’s own art page describes a rotating collection of original works and directs acquisition inquiries to Trimper Gallery specialists. A sequence of temporary collaborations had become a fixture, with a clear route from seeing a work to learning about it or discussing a purchase.
