APPARENT HEIR

Boston’s Museum of Fine Art has made a deal with the heirs to a painting sold under court order in Nazi-occupied Paris during World War II. “The parties came to a part-purchase, part-donation agreement that will allow the painting to remain in the MFA’s collection, and on display in its European paintings galleries.” – Boston Globe

  • The MFA purchased the painting from a London dealer in 1992 and has had it on display since. The museum was notified of the claim in February and first discussed the situation at a federal hearing on Nazi-looted art in New York City in April. – Boston Herald
