Working Papers from HAL

Abstract: Studies on the future of works created under the 1% for art program show that a significant number of them are damaged or destroyed. This workingpaper analyzes the factors behind this destruction, focusing on the nature and exposure of these works, based on a database compiled from high school inventory data collected in five regions. First, we present the methodologies used in three inventories, focusing mainly on how they describe the works and their condition. Second, we construct the space of the 1% works based on these inventories (covering the period 1951-1972), using certain equivalence conventions, and infer statistical links between their characteristics. The possibility of abstracting the work of art from its environment would allow it to survive better, thus raising the question of its rightful place and its dissociation from architecture.
