Abstract
Traditionally, visual artworks persist over time through the preservation of their material elements: if the surface of a painting is irrevocably obscured, the work is destroyed. While this remains true for many artworks, in other cases artists have sanctioned custom rules that permit or require certain forms of material change. Zoe Leonard requires that her objects be allowed to decay; Sarah Sze requires that some objects in her sculptural works be periodically replaced. In still other cases, such as James Turrell’s Skyspaces, changes in environmental conditions may destroy the work even if the object fabricated by the artist remains intact. Institutions have developed detailed procedures for gathering information about how artworks should be conserved, since this information is essential to the work’s identity and the meanings it expresses.
