Birch, McDonald. Silk Garland Owned by McDonald Birch. 1950s. An enormous striped silk garland, well over 20 feet long, 16? wide, formerly owned by Birch. According to the accompanying note of provenance, the silk was stolen from Birch?s show in the 1950s, and purchased by the former owner from an assistant of Birch?s. Despite being said to be stolen, Birch made no claim to the item when he saw it used in performance in the 1960s.
