Who owns the mural is unclear, and how it ended up in a Miami auction house shortly after going missing is still a mystery.
Frederic Thut, owner of Fine Art Auctions Miami, which is selling the piece, said his firm has done "all necessary due diligence" to establish the ownership of the work.
"Unfortunately we're not able to provide any information by law and contract about the details of this consignment," he said.
