Kevin Abosch is a pioneer in crypto art, known for his conceptual art pieces. Even before the digital art craze, he had managed to broker some top-notch deals, even selling a photo of a potato for a million euros!

On Valentine's Day 2018, Abosch sold one of his captures, a rose, for a million dollars. Sold as an NFT on an Ethereum blockchain, Forever Rose was, as noted by CNN, the most expensive virtual artwork in the world at that time. The piece was a gamechanger as an abstract artwork, making headlines in a year when the fascination around NFTs hadn't reached the mainstream.
