The 2007 work by Glasgow artist Douglas Gordon, The Left Hand and the Right Hand Have Abandoned One Another, valued at £500,000 was taken from Christie's in London.
Gordon, who won the Turner Prize in 1996, said he is now "pretty sure it has been melted down" after it was stolen from a storage facility.
