"Both client and designer worked with Toronto-based art consultant Jane Corkin of Corkin Gallery to acquire art that spoke to the environments in which they’d be displayed. “At the start they said, ‘We’re not art collectors,’ ” recalls Corkin of the clients. “But then they realized that they’d built such a magnificent house that they wanted art that would be substantial to match the magnitude of what the home had become.”
