PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Museum of Art announces the selection of Bruce Nauman as the artist to represent the United States at the 2009 Venice Biennale. The State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs selected Nauman following the unanimous recommendation of the Federal Advisory Committee on International Exhibitions (FACIE), which reviewed proposals received through an open competition.

Curator of Contemporary Art Carlos Basualdo, and Michael Taylor, the Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art, will serve as the U.S. Commissioners and will organize the exhibition from the Philadelphia Museum of Art. For more information, visit www.philamuseum.org.
