Whether you own 1 piece of art or 100, your experience as a collector is of interest.

Art comes in many forms. In this case, I'm interested in physical items (2D and 3D) that are intended for display. This survey is not about functional works (like a ceramic bowl or handwoven tablecloth), or wearable art (like jewelry or clothing).
