Publisher Note

Lost Art is a catalog of post-modern artworks that have suffered a material destruction, displacement, or disappearance. Conceived as a print archive, this book collects the documents and remains of 25 lost works ranging from Duchamp’s “Bicycle Wheel,” lost a century ago, to a Warhol film destroyed by police, a suite of prints from Richard Prince that hung in the World Trade Center, and Tracey Emin’s shattered “Always.” Manifesting Lucy Lippard’s observed “dematerialization of art,” all that remains are documentation and secondary sources. The book includes color plates and descriptions for each of the works, followed by a collection of notes from Nosenzo falling somewhere between art-history and personal account.
