Zusammenfassung: This thesis deals with problems related to the preventive conservation of contemporary art, in particular art which is intended to decay, also known as emphemeral or fugitive art. A keypoint in dealing with this type of art is conservation ethics. All art underlies the recommendations of conservation ethics, but these are not always applicable when considering emphemeral art. This point raises many questions, in particular regarding the responsibility of the conservator when dealing with ephemeral art. Conservators must adhere to the intentions and demands of the artist, the curator, the specific damage to the work of art as well as ethical recommendations. But who has the authority to make decisions when these intentions and demands are conflicting?

The thesis begins with an overview of post-1945 art for a better understanding of how ephemeral art came to be, along with a selection of artists who create such works. This is followed by a summary of standard and modern conservation ethics.

The main part of this work is the literature research divided into five chapters dealing with conservation ethics, the legal rights and demands of artists, interviews with artists to establish their intentions and demands as well as the intentions of museums which collect ephemeral art.
A questionnaire was sent to ten museums which have art made by Diether Roth, to give an impression of how specialists are dealing with these issues today.
