Abstract (en)

Reports on the controversy surrounding the label used to identify the provenance of Monet's 1904 Water Lilies from the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Caen. The painting was included in an exhibition of works by the French artist that opened at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, where it was noted on the wall label that the work was "recovered after World War II and placed in trust with the National Museums of France." Jewish leaders criticized the museum for failing to make clear that the work had been looted from a Jewish collection and that the heir of its owner had filed a claim for its return in France.
