The custom-made piece, which is constructed from more than 17,500 ceramic tiles each no bigger than a quarter of an inch square, was originally installed at the end of Lennon’s swimming pool in his mansion at Kenwood, Surrey.
The artwork went missing after being displayed at a Liverpool garden show in 1987. Turns out a man hired to clean up after the show thought it had been abandoned and put it in storage in nearby Wirral, where it was forgotten about until the piece's owners recently went searching for it and realized they couldn't find it.
Plans now call for touring the piece to shows and museums around the world.
