    We were deeply saddend to confirm the passing of artist Michael Richards during the World Trade Center tragedy. His studio, sponsored by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, was located on the 90th floor.

    Michael Richards was Studio Museum artist-in-residence (AIR) in 1995-1996. He was also featured in the exhibition,
    Passages: Contemporary Art in transition, which concluded its two-year tour at the Miami Art Museum in December 2000.

    He will be greatly missed.
