As Francis Bacon's triptych of Lucien Freud 'Three Studies of Lucian Freud, 1969' became the most expensive painting ever bought at auction (£89m), we got to thinking where Freud's fabulous stolen portrait of Bacon might be.
Thirteen years after the theft, Freud circulated the poster below around Berlin and even asked the thief if he would lend the painting for the duration of Freud's 2011 Tate retrospective, but sadly nobody came forward. We wonder what happened to all the posters, whether they were steamed off walls by art-lovers...
