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. 606 $aArt and society 606 $aArt$xMutilation, defacement, etc 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArt and society. 615 0$aArt$xMutilation, defacement, etc. 676 $a700.108 700 $aPappas-Kelley$b Jared$01034256 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480085603321 996 $aSolvent form$92453264 997 $aUNINA
