Lucian Freud "Portrait of Francis Bacon" Stolen from the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin, Germany May 27, 1988
Berliners have woken up to find their city plastered with "Wanted" posters depicting the face of the late celebrated artist Francis Bacon.
The posters offer a reward of 300,000 German marks (£100,000). Yet it is not Bacon himself they are demanding, but the return of a portrait of the artist stolen 13 years ago.
The 1951 painting, worth an estimated $1.4m, is by artist Lucian Freud - Bacon's respected contemporary now aged 79.
