Many assume that modern works of art are easily preserved; that their whereabouts can be readily established, thanks to sophisticated documentation sys-tems; and that, in general, they are not subject to loss or destruction. But many important works have disappeared over the last century in a variety of ways, including war, theft, natural catastrophe, and carelessness. Most signifi-cantly, loss itself has been a major theme within modern and contemporary art, with elements of transience central to the practice of many well-known figures. Grouped into 10 sections--Discarded, Missing, Rejected, Attacked, Destroyed, Erased, Ephemeral, Transient, Unrealized, and Stolen--this unique book surveys 40 case studies, looking at the stories behind lost works of art by artists such as Kandinsky, Mir , Kahlo, Christo, Keith Haring, and including Michael Landy's 2001 project Break Down, in which he systematically destroyed every one of his possessions himself.
