A renowned celebrity photographer, Kevin Abosch reportedly sold a simple portrait of an organic Irish spud, tagged "Potato #345" , for €1 million ($1.08 million) last year to an European businessman, who saw it while dining at Abosch's Paris home. The 46-year-old Irish visual artist, who typically charges between $150,000 to $500,000 for portraits of famous figures, revealed earlier this month that the sale, brokered over a few glasses of wine, was the biggest of his career.
