Felix Gonzalez-Torres, a Cuban-born American artist who died in 1996, has been chosen to represent the United States at the 2007 Venice Biennale. Mr. Gonzalez-Torres, who died of AIDS at 38, produced graceful Conceptual works with political and personal messages. Among his works going on view when the Biennale opens in June 2007 will be well-known pieces like his largest light string; a large paper stack from 1992; and a suite of 12 framed black-and-white photographs, an inventory of idealized men.
