Irish photographer is engaged in artistic photography, and potato is one of his passions.
A biologist by training, Abosch believes that potatoes “are like people, all different, yet recognizable as members of the same species.”
He made a series of photographs of potatoes, but the “Potato # 345” is one of his favorites.
The artist occasionally opens his studio for a visit. During one of them, “Potatoes # 345” has caught the eye of a rich collector who did not have a problem to splash out one million dollar to become the owner of the photo.
