This trend will create more work for conservators

According to an article by Alina Dizik in the Mansion section of the December 9, 2016 issue of The Wall Street Journal (“The $110,000 Etching in the Bathroom”), as master baths are becoming larger and more important rooms in homes, more people are displaying art in their bathrooms —- including $110,000 etchings by Damien Hirst. While some interior decorators advise their clients to put their art in protective enclosures and some owners install extra ventilation, this trend is likely to create more jobs for conservators as works suffer from the effects of variations in heat and humidity.
