Provenance
Estate of Carolyn Brown, New York 2025.
Mary Caroline (M. C.) Richards (1916 – 1999) was born in Weiser, Idaho, and spent her childhood in Portland, Oregon. She earned her degree from Reed College and obtained a Ph. D. from the University of California at Berkeley. In 1945, she became a faculty member at Black Mountain College (BMC), where she taught writing, translated theatrical works, engaged in dance, explored pottery, and established The Black Mountain Review. During the late 1940s, she was one of the most favored instructors at BMC and later expressed: "I have no criticism of Black Mountain, it was an entirely transforming, maturing and inspiring experience. " At BMC, Richards played a pivotal role in maintaining harmony within the community following the departures of Josef and Anni Albers and the emergence of Charles Olson as the institution's leader in the 1950s. Richards took part in the 1952 Happening at BMC, named Theater Piece No. 1, an innovative multimedia performance created by John Cage and David Tudor.
