Boston Museum fights to keep Monet and 16 paintings
The Museum of Fine Arts Boston battles to retain a Monet and 16 other paintings valued at six to eight million dollars. They were loaned 86 years ago by the Daniel White Fund under William Wolcott's will, with stipulations that they benefit Lawrence, Massachusetts, until a suitable display is built there. The fund’s lawyer argues the people of Lawrence have not benefited from the works stored in MFA basement. The collection includes Fields of Poppies near Giverny by Claude Monet, dated 1878.
