These predictions, keeping in line with demographic shifts, are perfectly within the realm of what reasonable people would expect. And I may even be so bold as to say by 2030, auctions not backed by some form of distributed ledger technology will be a rarity.

More than a decade ago Lucian Freud (whose new bio is one of the best art books i've ever read) came out of seclusion to restore a masterwork by Titian.

And new restoration techniques of old masters could constitute a significant draw for public funds and art r&d and investment ;)
