Through re-examinations of such events as the Momart warehouse fire in 2004 and the activities of art thief Stephane Breitwieser, the book proposes an idea of solvent form hinging on the dual meaning in the words solvent and solvency, whereby art, while attempting to make secure or fixed, simultaneously undoes and destroys through its inception. Ultimately, the book questions what is it that may be perceived in the destruction of art and how we understand it, and further how it might be linked to a more general failure.Art and societyArtMutilation, defacement, etcArt and loss.Art.Contemporary art.Destruction of art.Destruction.Disappearance.Gallery of lost art.Georges Bataille.Georges Perec.Jake and Dinos Chapman.Lost Art.Momart warehouse fire.Momart.Remainder.Sacrifice.Sarah Winchester.Solvency.Tom McCarthy.Winchester Mystery House.Art and society.ArtMutilation, defacement, etc.700.108Pappas-Kelley Jared1568716MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910793361703321Solvent form3841059UNINA
