A European man bought a photo of a potato---an organic Irish spud---for more than $1 million.

The potato photo, simply called “Potato #345,” sold for 1 million euros last year. It was shot by renowned celebrity photographer Kevin Abosch, who has taken photos of Malala Yousafza, Yoko Ono, and others.

A European businessman saw the potato photo while he was in Abosch’s home in Paris.

“It’s not the first time that someone has bought the art right off my wall,” he was quoted by the Independent as saying.
