http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#106 http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#106 It's under 106Aa3, I believe. Pretty interesting stuff which I wasn't aware of. EDIT: Note that the rights cannot be transferred, but can be waived. So if you're buying visual art with the intention of defacing it then you can ask the artist to sign a waiver form as a condition of the sale. Personally, I think this is reasonable.
