A Nigerian painting that has been missing for decades has been found in a North London apartment. The discovery of Ben Enwonwu's masterpiece in 1974, Adetutu Ademiluyi, known as Tutu, has been touted as the "most important discovery of contemporary African art for more than 50 years," said Guardian. The image of painting has become a symbol of national reconciliation in the country, where people hang posters on the walls of their homes. It is unclear how the piece was found in North London, and the family who has possession of it has requested anonymity. However, it will be sold to Bonhams in London later this month and is expected to reach more than £ 200,000. Giles Peppiatt, director of modern African art at the auction house, made the discovery when he went home.
