Name of abstract art genius (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

signature

'name' is the definition.
(I know that signature is a type of name)

'abstract art genius' is the wordplay.
'abstract' indicates anagramming the letters.
'art'+'genius'='artgenius'
'artgenius' anagrammed gives 'SIGNATURE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for signature that I've seen before include "Squiggle perhaps" , "Distinctive mark" , "Name written by its owner" , "proof of identity" , "Identifying piece of writing, tune etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
