Nearly 80% of wealthy art collectors want their masterpieces to stay in the family, according to a Bank of America survey. One problem: almost one-third of all future heirs don’t feel the same.

Part of the conflict is due to different preferences. For instance, the survey found that collectors between 21 and 43 have a greater appreciation for sculptures and antiquities than older art aficionados.
