Drawn in the style of cartoons in The New Yorker, Pablo Helguera's
Artoons exist in a category of their own -which has earned him the
title of "the art world's anthropologist." While providing an
insider's perspective on the workings and contradictions of the
contemporary art scene, Helguera's Artoons are satirical, critical,
sometimes existential, and always entertaining. "Inimitable: the
truth and the beauty, the delusions, the vanity and the reality of
the art world."The Art Newspaper, London"To be an art world
insider, you need to know of Pablo Helguera and understand his
well-observed jokes."Sarah Thornton, author of "Seven Days in the
Art World" "Pablo Helguera is the art world's Herblock. His work
satirizes 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"Comic relief - finally "Allan McCollum,
artist"The foibles, ironies, and occasional stupidity of the art
world, captured with clarity and economy."Visual Artists'
