There was always something thrilling about that solitude, of walking in front of priceless artworks, all the result of complex life stories, many of which we will never fully know in-depth, made by artists who largely didn't know that their works would be hanging on the public spaces of a major museum like that, one hundred years from when they we...

In the summer of 2006, artist Pablo Helguera drove from Alaska to Chile as part of an art project, and this edition remains the most personal account of his four-month journey. The collection of collages made out of images and texts of education manuals and history books oscillates between an image poem and a cryptic travelogue.

This funny book masquerades as an old-fashioned guide to the manners and foibles of the art world, written by a savvy 21st century artist.

Helguera's spunky primer promises to offer a much-needed cri...

Th...
