Art Procurement & Placement
Art is an integral element of a refined and meaningful living environment. Beyond decoration, fine art brings depth, emotion, and individuality to a space—reflecting the personality and aspirations of its owner.
As a certified art consultant, Linda Price-Bennett seamlessly integrates fine art into all Viali design projects. An artist and collector herself, she brings more than 30 years of experience in art acquisition and placement for clients with diverse tastes and objectives. Drawing from an extensive network of galleries, dealers, and artists across Canada, the United States, and Europe, Linda curates collections that enrich each interior and align with the client’s aesthetic, investment, and emotional goals.
Each artwork selection is made with thoughtful consideration of the surrounding architecture, interior finishes, and lighting conditions to ensure cohesion, impact, and longevity of enjoyment.
Our Process
Viali’s Art Procurement & Placement service follows a structured and personalized approach, ensuring each client receives a collection that feels both intimate and elevated.
Client Assessment
Linda begins by developing a deep understanding of your artistic preferences, lifestyle, and objectives—whether your focus is investment, display enjoyment, or both. Through discussions and visual references, she identifies the genres, periods, and mediums that best align with your vision and environment.
Research & Sourcing
With your goals clearly defined, Linda conducts extensive research to identify suitable works within your preferred style and budget. She liaises with galleries, private dealers, and artists, often conducting in-person viewings and interviews to ensure authenticity, quality, and provenance of each piece.
Client Review & Selection
A curated portfolio of recommended artworks is then presented for your review. This collaborative process allows clients to refine their tastes and make informed choices. Linda provides context, background, and value insights for each piece, ensuring confidence in every selection prior to purchase approval.
Procurement &
Logistics
Once selections are confirmed, Viali manages the full acquisition process. Linda coordinates secure shipping and delivery through specialized fine art logistics providers, ensuring safe handling and full insurance coverage throughout transit. Every step is documented to guarantee transparency and peace of mind.
Layout &
Placement Design
Viali creates a detailed art placement plan, integrating artwork into the overall interior design layout. This plan considers spatial proportions, furniture placement, traffic flow, and architectural features. Lighting conditions—both natural and artificial—are analyzed to determine optimal display positions. Linda reviews the proposed layout with the client before final approval, ensuring the arrangement enhances both the art and the space.
Lighting Design
Proper lighting is essential to the presentation of fine art. Linda assesses existing lighting or, in the case of new builds, designs a dedicated art lighting plan. She specifies fixture types, angles, and beam spreads to achieve optimal illumination and ambiance, working closely with electricians and installers to ensure precise implementation and calibration
Professional Installation
Art installation requires meticulous care and expertise. Viali engages professional art installation specialists under Linda’s direct supervision to ensure each piece is handled and mounted with precision. Appropriate hanging systems are used, and insurance coverage is verified prior to installation. Once complete, the team conducts a thorough site inspection and cleanup, ensuring the space is left pristine and the artwork presented flawlessly.
Through this end-to-end process, Viali transforms fine art from a decorative accessory into a defining element of your home’s design narrative—a collection that resonates personally, performs functionally, and endures beautifully over time.
Beautiful art brings life to every room, and when judiciously selected, can represent a long-term financial investment asset.
