I'm always interested in unusual artwork. I was surprised at the price especially since there seems to be 999 of them made but then I saw an entry(below) in Wiki so perhaps it's cheap at the price.

From Wiki:
Jeffrey L. Koons (/kuːnz/; born January 21, 1955) is an American artist recognized for his work dealing with popular culture and his sculptures depicting everyday objects, including balloon animals produced in stainless steel with mirror-finish surfaces. He lives and works in both New York City and his hometown of York, Pennsylvania. His works have sold for substantial sums, including at least two record auction prices for a work by a living artist: $58.4 million for Balloon Dog (Orange) in 2013[1] and $91.1 million for Rabbit in 2019.[2][3]
There is a long list of exhibitions. He must be pretty well considered to get an exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
