Burning artwork in future (10)
I believe the answer is:
combusting
'burning' is the definition.
('combust' can be a synonym of 'burn')
'artwork in future' is the wordplay.
'artwork' becomes 'bust' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'future' becomes 'coming' (similar in meaning).
'bust' placed within 'coming' is 'COMBUSTING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
