Potato #345 was captured by portrait photographer Kevin Abosch, who revealed that the print has been sold to a businessman for the equivalent of around \u00a3760,000.<\/p>\n

The deal emerged over dinner with the unnamed client last year.<\/p>\n

Abosch told yesterday’s Sunday Times<\/em>: \u2018It\u2019s not the first time that someone has bought the art right off my wall.<\/p>\n

\u2018We had two glasses of wine and he said: \u201cI really like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Two more glasses of wine and he said: \u201cI really want that\u201d.’<\/p>\n

The Dublin-based photographer told the paper that the potato had been delivered to his home with a batch of organic vegetables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
