Is my art collecting an addiction?, by qwertystar on Oct 31, 2007 23:01:00 GMT 1, magazine.uchicago.edu/0110/features/mania.html
I read this and it made me think (probably been covered in the past but what the hell!)
I particularly like:
The "miracle of collecting," after all, as Jean Baudrillard put in Le système des objets (1968), is that "what you really collect is always yourself." Whether your collection serves as a public display or as a private preserve, it's a form of expression where you materialize that abstract thing called the self, where you can thus see and handle yourself, even talk to yourself, taking comfort in the way objects stabilize you as a subject.
I love my art but do have to remind myhself that it is real money I buy pieces with and not just art tokens!!!

You know you have a problem when you have just finished paying on-line for another piece, a process that had just interrupted 3 hours of agonizing as to which one your pieces you were going to have to take down off the wall because your have just got another one back from the framers. Sh*t I have got a problem........ ;D ;D
