Helguera continues a long if recently disused tradition of creative fibbing in this enlightening epistolary book.

He is the Director of Adult and Academic Programs at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. He is the author of many books including The Pablo Helguera Manual of Contemporary Art Style, What in the World ( A Museum's Subjective Biography), Education for Socially Engaged Art and ArtScenes.
