FILE - ``Portrait of Wally,'' painted by the late Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele, is shown in this undated handout photograph. The Museum of Modern Art turned down pleas from two Jewish families to hold onto two paintings in a traveling exhibit while they press claims that the artworks were lost to Nazi wartime plundering. The paintings, ``Dead City'' and ``Portrait of Wally,'' were shown at the museum through Sunday, Jan.4,1998, on loan from the Leopold Foundation, which is financed by the Austrian government.
