It depends on the country. In the US an artist has rights and deliberately destroying an artwork can get you sued.

Rembrandt, Picasso, and Warhol do not have any rights anymore. They have all died.
bravo
And how would that compare, for you, to Julian Assange if he dies in prison ?
If Julian Assange dies in prison, I would think he no longer has rights and any artwork he has created can be freely destroyed without fear of litigation, especially if it is privately owned.
Seriously. What does artwork have to do with Julian Assange? I don't think he should be in prison but this is an odd protest.
If I had to choose one? I'd burn the art to save a life. If he died and the artwork was destroyed, I would think that was two tragedies.
These artists are all dead.
What's the reason for that? Tried googling but couldn't find anything on the reasoning for the law
>right to prevent distortion, mutilation, or modification that would prejudice the author's honor or reputation
not exactly
The very next line after the one you you quoted. Also look at the case studies of times people have been sued successfully.
