"Pablo Helguera is the art world's Herblock. His work satirized the
hypocrisy in the world of galleries, museums, collectors and
artists and always goes straight to where it hurts the most. Fueled
by attitude and based on an intimate knowledge of the subjects his
cartoons are witty, sharp and above all highly subversive." Jens
Hoffmann, curator and director of CCA Wattis Institute, San
Francisco "Artoons is the book we've all been missing - an
essential read. It is the quintessential art gift - you may begin
by offering it to yourself and then to your dearest ones. While it
is a deft and witty commentary, it is not simply a book of inside
art jokes; it's smart and the drawings and writing are executed
with superb style; Artoons highlights Helguera's finest qualities
as an artist. I suspect him to be a meticulous observer, who reads
and edits the information he collects like a skilled and
experienced monteur. ...] Two thumbs up. Way up Georgia Kotretsos,
Bootprint Magazine "Pablo Helguera skewers art world species one by
one." Artnews "The foibles, ironies, and occasional stupidity of
the art world, captured with clarity and economy." Visual Artists'
