. . . "Holocaust historians are criticizing the Boston Museum of Fine Arts for its stance in an escalating legal dispute over the ownership of a valuable 1913 painting. The work, Oskar Kokoschka's \"Two Nudes (Lovers),\" has hung at the MFA almost continuously since 1973.The dispute began in March 2007, when attorneys for Claudia Seger-Thomschitz, an Austrian woman who says she is the rightful owner of \"Two Nudes,\" approached the museum demanding its return. Lawyers for Seger-Thomschitz, an heir to Jewish art collector Oskar Reichel, say Reichel sold the painting under duress in Nazi-occupied 1939 Vienna."@en .
