A celebrated photographer has sold a picture of an Irish potato for €1m (£750,000).Kevin Abosch, 46, confirmed he had sold the photograph of an organic potato shot on a black background to an unnamed European businessman. The photograph, which was taken in 2010, sits alongside shots of Steven Spielberg, Michael Palin, Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg and Malala Yousafzai in the sought-after photographer’s portfolio.

Mr Abosch’s portraits are typically commissioned for at least £200,000.
