Hi Kim,
I would think that the destruction should be complete enough so that the

piece could never be repaired, reassembled or restored.  For a work on 
paper it might mean shredding.  For a painting or a wood sculpture it 
might mean incineration.  For a ceramic sculpture I would think that 
pulverizing it with a sledge hammer should suffice and photographing the

remains for the insurance company's benefit.  For someone like me who 
makes their living preserving and carefully handling objects, I think
this 
would be quite fun!
Sincerely,
David Ryan
