Last winter, a man tried to break Marcel Duchamps Fountain sculpture. The sculpted foot of Michelangelos David was damaged in 1991 by a purportedly mentally ill artist. With each incident, intellectuals must confront the unsettling dynamic between destruction and art. Renowned art historian Dario Gamboni is the first to tackle this weighty issue in depth, exploring specters of censorship, iconoclasm, and vandalism that surround such acts.Gamboni uncovers here a disquieting phenomenon that still thrives today worldwide. As he demonstrates through analyses of incidents occurring in nineteenth and twentiethcentury America and Europe, a complex relationship exists among the evolution of modern art, destruction of artworks, and the long history of iconoclasm. From the controversial removal of Richard Serras Tilted Arc from New York Citys Federal Plaza to suffragette protests at Londons National Gallery, Gamboni probes the concept of artists rights, the power of political protest and how iconoclasm sheds light on societys relationship to art and material culture.Compelling and thoughtprovoking, The Destruction of Art forces us to rethink the ways that we interact with art and react to its power to shock or subdue.
