The move comes after the Chagall Committee, the Paris-based organization that holds copyrights for the artist's work, questioned the authenticity of the paintings earlier this week and asked the Suntory not to display them.

The paintings in question are Portrait of a Woman (1908), Family (1911–12), and Fiddler (1917). All are from the collection of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, which maintains that scholarly research has proven their attribution.

The exhibition, titled "The Springtime of Russian Avant-Garde from the Collection of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art," will run from September 25 to November 3. It will travel to the Museum of Fine Arts in Gifu Prefecture and the Museum of Modern Art in Saitama Prefecture, both of which have opted not to dispay the three paintings as well.
