Why are they “allowing” the painting to be displayed. It’s not theirs to loan. They received stolen property.

Where do you come up with stolen? Lost is not stolen. The large series was broken up for individual sales by a gallery in order to make money. A record of who bought each painting was not kept. Fast forward 50 years and it is decided by a museum to put the series back together for an exhibit. Several of the paintings are now considered “lost” just because no one remembers who bought them.

...who had purchased the painting at a friend's Christmas charity art auction in 1960.
