When the Museum's director, Perry Rathbone (q.v.) was relieved of his duties during the 1970 centennial celebration because of the acquisition of a stolen Raphael, Vermeule assumed the acting directorship. It was during his time as director that the Museum purchased an important work, Cézanne's last self-portrait. For the 1973-1974 academic year Vermeule was a visiting faculty at Yale University. In 1978 he received an appointment at Boston College. Vermeule's tenure as curator was marked by the acquisition of two large vases portraying the fall of Troy and the death of Agamemnon, a Roman portrait of an old man, and a Minoan gold double ax. He retired in 1996 and was succeeded by John Herrmann. (English)

When Nazi forces invaded Hungary in 1944, the Jewish politician and art collector Ferenc Chorin and his family were lucky to escape with their lives. Chorin’s collection of paintings, which he left in a vault in the Hungarian Commercial Bank of Pest, was less fortunate. The entire collection disappeared from the vault in the course of the war — likely looted during the Siege of Budapest in 1945.Nearly 80 years later, Chorin’s family located one of the paintings, “View of Beverwijk,” in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The museum announced this month that it had reached an agreement to return the painting to the family. (English)

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.But the MFA says that Reichel sold the painting voluntarily and that it never passed through Nazi hands. After the museum conducted its own research into the painting's history, it presented its findings to Seger-Thomschitz's lawyers and requested that she drop her claim for restitution. When she refused, the museum filed suit against her in January in US District Court for the District of Massachusetts to establish legal title to the painting (English)
