Businessman buys photograph of a potato for 1mln Euro

有錢任性 歐洲富商100萬(wàn)歐元買張土豆照片

A celebrated photographer has sold a picture of an Irish potato for 1mln Euro (750,000 Pound).

一位知名攝影師將其拍攝的一張愛(ài)爾蘭馬鈴薯的照片賣出了高達(dá)100萬(wàn)歐元(75萬(wàn)英鎊)。

Kevin Abosch, 46, confirmed he had sold the photograph of an organic potato shot on a black background to an unnamed European businessman.

46歲的攝影師凱文證實(shí)，他已經(jīng)將黑色背景的有機(jī)土豆照片賣給了一位不愿透露姓名的歐洲商人。

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.

這張土豆照片拍攝于2010年，與斯蒂芬.斯皮爾伯格(美國(guó)導(dǎo)演)、邁克爾.佩林(英國(guó)男星)、雪莉.桑德伯格(臉書(shū)網(wǎng)首席運(yùn)營(yíng)官)和馬拉拉.尤沙夫賽(巴基斯坦維權(quán)少女)的肖像照共同組成了凱文廣受歡迎的照片組合。

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

他拍攝的人像肖像照通常會(huì)以至少20萬(wàn)英鎊的價(jià)格拍賣。

There are three versions of the potato print in existence - one belongs in his private collection, another was donated to an art museum in Serbia and the third was sold to the unnamed businessman.

凱文的馬鈴薯照片現(xiàn)存有三個(gè)版本——一個(gè)是他的私人收藏，另一個(gè)捐贈(zèng)給了塞爾維亞藝術(shù)博物館，第三個(gè)被賣給了不知名的富商。

He told the Sunday Times:“It’s not the first time that someone has bought the art right off my wall.

凱文告訴《星期日泰晤士報(bào)》：“這已經(jīng)不是第一次有人從我的展覽墻上直接買走照片了。”

“We had two glasses of wine and he said, ‘I really like that’. Two more glasses of wine and he said: ‘I really want that.’

他還說(shuō)：“我們一起喝了兩杯葡萄酒，那名富商說(shuō)‘我真的很想要那張照片’，再喝兩杯酒，富商又說(shuō)‘我真的很想要那張照片’。”

“We set the price two weeks later. It is the most I have been paid for a piece of work that has been bought [rather than commissioned].”

“兩周以后我們就把價(jià)錢定好了，這也成為有史以來(lái)我直接賣出的最貴的作品(而不是按照委托價(jià))。”

The Irish photographer’s trademark portraits on a black background have been highly sought after among the rich and famous - last week he was invited to the World Economic Forum in Davos.

這位愛(ài)爾蘭攝影師以黑色作為背景拍攝的肖像照，在富人和名流之中受到了追捧——就在上個(gè)星期，他還被邀請(qǐng)到達(dá)沃斯世界經(jīng)濟(jì)論壇。

Mr Abosch said he is not sure what happened to the potato in question - called Potato - as he photographed many for a special series

但他表示，自己在拍攝這張土豆照片時(shí)，并不知道這張照片將會(huì)給他帶來(lái)什么——所謂的土豆——他拍攝眾多的土豆照片只是為了自己的一個(gè)特殊系列。
