Photo of potato sells for €1 million
A photo of an Irish potato taken by a world-famous visual artist has sold for more than $1 million, according to CNN.
According to the news agency, the photo of the potato was taken by Kevin Abosch, who is famous for photographing well-known people like Malala Yousafza and Yoko Ono.
Abosch portraits usually sell for around $500 000, but his latest masterpiece was bought by a European businessman for €1 million.
CNN quotes a spokesperson for Abosch saying that the photograph, which was taken in Ireland, was sold from his Paris home.
Models and actors have all turned to Abosch for portraits over the years, but the Spud was a first for the artist.
