Thats the thing Bill, if you have bought a piece of art that you love and that moves you in some way, you don't ever tire of having it on your wall.

I'm looking at my own silver prints on the wall here at home Stoo and I'm a bit tired of them !

It's a good job I know how to make them though cos I sure couldn't afford to buy one

If you commit to paying a fairly high sum for a work of art I think you're probably going to like it enough to like it for a long time. The same applies to a painting. The problem is to get Joe Public to appreciate that a darkroom print is - or can be - a work of art, just like a painting.

If you tire of a piece, replace it with something else and store it for a while. Then when you tire of the replacement you can swap them over, and so on. Galleries do this all the time!

Bill - if you're tired of your prints (and that applies to most of us at one time or another) make some more, and store the older ones till they look fresh again.
