Greetings collective mind!

In scheming how to get myself to Pasadena before November to see the Sister Corita Kent show that opened this week:  http://pmcaonline.org/exhibitions/someday-is-now-the-art-of-corita-kent/

I realized that I might have to content myself with some art books until that time, but in hopping into my catalog and then WorldCAT I find a puzzlement:

As an author and a subject, the artist is simply listed as:

Corita, 1918-1986. 

Even subdivided:  Corita 1918 1986 Criticism And Interpretation

Does anyone know the reason she is listed this way in the authority files?  Guessing it is related to the name she took, Mary Corita, when she joined the order, but then why isn't it Corita, Mary?  And wondering if there are any other artists who are only listed with one name as an entry point?  

Best regards,

Rebecca
