In 2008, two ceramic vases by Xu came into the center of a legal tussle, between the sponsor of the art exhibition titled Xu Beihong In Nanyang at the Singapore Art Museum and the two sets of family friends of Xu. Xu who remained under the generous sponsorship of Huang, the late educator at Nanyang University in Singapore, was the great-grandfather of Bonn. In earlier versions of this Wikipedia entry, prosecutors of the case distant cousins of Bonn requested the sale of the vase through Bonn Gallery. The feud supported by Singaporean solicitors portrayed the family feud as an illegitimate art dealing; embarrassing and humiliating the Museum who supported the arts of Xu through Bonn and affiliates. According to close relatives of Xu and Huang/Bonn, and those avid in the art scene, some forty pieces of Xu’s late work were mysteriously lost after Xu’s death. Madame Xu shared similar sentiments as Bonn who proposes to resource the artworks to contribute to the establishment of The Xu Bei Hong Foundation; that would be managed by other Xu and Huang families. According, to a 2009 update, the vases were returned to the Huang brothers’ descendants. However, no names of the which Huang recipients were shared publicly.

 * [The following Contribution Controversy within https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xu_Beihong contains misleading information and falsity; published during hearings and legal proceedings involving high financial undertaking between family members -- out of spiteful out lash. Later edits were made after the "returned to Huang brothers" unfortunately does not include Jack Bonn, who is fifth of the second of Huang's older lineage.] The art collectors Huang Man Shi and Huang Meng Gui had passed the vases and some of Xu's paintings to Bonn, a Hong Kong art dealer in 2006, to be auctioned off at Christie's auction house. [Kindly announce where Bonn may collect his vases and Xu's artwork since the return was not fully delivered, yet.] The 18 cm-high vases were made in the 1940s, and titled Malay Dancers and Orchid. These items were to be returned if the auctions failed. Instead, the vases went on show at the Museum without the approval from the owners. The Museum maintained they were unaware of any legal implications surrounding the artifacts. It was only after the end of the exhibition in July 2008, that the Museum received notice to reclaim the vases from Jack Bonn. In 2009 the vases were returned to the descendants of the Huang brothers.[5] ******
