You have been given an added consideration in that the frames are different. When one artist makes a series of works which is interrelated through subject or style, generally the framing defers quietly to the importance of the actual work. The pieces are hung so that they may be cross referenced, especially if the artist's intention is to exhibit them, more especially in post-modernist work, and post- post- modernist work to what ever the heck I'm making now.
If these works all reference similar subject matter, perhaps the artist sold the canvasses unframed, without the intention to exhibit them at one time, if ever, which presents the question of their age.
Since all these frames are different, is it because they were framed at different times and present some chronology of the artist's work?
Frames and mattes are not used to put another color around a work which was made by another artist, but rather to reinforce the intrinsic sensibility perceived therein and to protect the work itself. Of course, many artists lack the cash flow necessary for first rate framing, and if they make the work for themselves, may not care anyway, because something else has them fascinated, and the work can always be framed later.
Linda, your observation that the works which were made by one artist, in all these different frames indicates that there other unknown variables which we are unable to ascertain here. We don't even know the size of the canvasses. If you think that the white frame would dominate the others, separate that work until you have a better idea as to your course of action. Can you cluster three? Play with them. Keep them spaced well away from real things (light switches, etc) . Real things in too close a proximity to an image can too easily distract from that image, which is in itself, ephemeral.
I hang work lower than is the historical norm, never use the "salon" style, and most crucially maintain wall color within a warm but neutral grey, where artwork predominates in formal settings, like the living room, dining room areas. I intend to use heavier values with more color saturation elsewhere, like the kitchen. Yum. I'm glad you have these painted treasures, within the collected work of one artist. They are your babies, now! You make the rules for your wards.

We brave the prevailing winds often in flights across the country. Here's my grandson "Runs with Dodge" discovering the concept of persistence of vision, through a slat fence in Calgary, and a couple of shots of the garden I made for "Runs with Dodge" here in the " Hammer". I used Pencross bent grass for the tiny lawn which is surrounded by raised beds with grasses, perennials and favorite trees. I did quite a bit of stone and brickwork for paths, so "R.w. D" has a route at the front through this almost secret miniature botanical garden. That awning, however, should make a fine sled down the Sherman Cut right up to " Mr. Used"...lean left...catch'ya later, won/tripple/zeero/won.
