Are there any art collectors here?

We've had a bit of an art buying frenzy in the last 12months or so, using money received as a wedding gift mostly. Thankfully we've run out of wall space now!
Have some works buy Dan Pearce, Martin Koster, Stephen Graham and a few others.
I'll upload some pics when I get chance.

I've got a some bits which i've collected over the last 30yrs

Most of what i've bought reflects the city where i live.. first up is Phlegm


Fight or Flight which i float mounted in a jelutong box frame

Phlegm's Luxuria.. homage to Pieter Bruegel.. they were sold via KBR in Belgium.. luckily my sis in law lives in Antwerp so she kindly went down there on the train to pick one up for me..

..from her series of concrete paintings.. she paints on slabs of concrete which she casts into a mould so it's heavy!
I've mounted it in a frame so you can see the edges of the concrete slab.. Andy McCluskey from OMD owns one of these concrete pieces.

Kid Acne past-up from his 'stabby woman' series.. it's on metal panel.. i 'harvested' it from a building near work which was going to be demolished and framed it up in Scandi-ply

My wife's 'Bathroom Mirror' by Anita Klein 2005.. this used to live in the bathroom in our old house.. i mounted it in a maple frame inside a double glazed unit which i made to protect it from the moisture.. our current bathroom is tiny so it's on the landing next to the Sheila Maid
