"An artist, museum educator, and man about town (specifically, New York City), Helguera is an amateur anthropologist of the art world. ( . . .) [Helguera's] cartoons really do capture the foibles, ironies, and occasional stupidity of the art world with a clarity and economy that only a simple pen drawing and a short piece of text can achieve. They fi ll an important gap. Cartooning is rarely done in the art world ( . . . ) Maybe the problem isn't the humor, but the truth. It may take years of sleuthing for Helguera, the anthropologist, to fi gure out why this is so. In the meantime, Pablo's Artoons can do the talking for us."
-From the foreword by András Szántó

Praise for The Pablo Helguera Manual of Contemporary Art Style:


"Who but a genius would come up with a Manual of Contemporary Art Style?"
-The Guardian

"You will sob, even howl, with laughter."
-Flash Art

"The balancing act between fl ippancy and gravity is neither easy to achieve nor to sustain, yet Helguera manages it with ease."
-Art Review
