Jan. 27, 2005:
MoMA Embroiled in Battle over Painting Seized by

In a story on All Things Considered on Dec. 27, we reported on the controversy over
\nownership of a painting on loan to the Museum of Modern Art. NPR failed to make clear that the
\nartwork is not in the possession of the museum. In fact, the painting is in the custody of the
\nfederal government. In addition, we said the museum opposed a Jewish family’s efforts to recover
\nthe painting, “Portrait of Wally,” by Egon Schiele. However, we did not report the museum’s
\nstatement, made to NPR, that it had never taken a position on the question of the painting’s
\nownership. Finally, NPR failed to give the museum an opportunity to answer allegations in our
\nstory about its motivations and actions in the dispute over the painting’s
\nownership.<\/P><\/BLOCKQUOTE>

Correction: The government, not the museum, has custody of the artwork.
\nThe museum says it took no position on the question of the painting’s ownership. NPR failed to
\ngive the museum a chance to answer allegations about its motivations and
\nactions.<\/BLOCKQUOTE>

The fact that MoMA has taken a position in a court of law, arguing that the Jewish family has
\nno legal basis for an ownership claim — as D’Arcy’s own story, quoting several experts, pointed
\nout — seems not to have registered with NPR’s chief of corrections. Nor has this<\/FONT><\/B><\/A>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
