I'm actually surprised at the value of this piece seeing that it's fairly famous. Just $42,000, is that a typo?!

Nope. He's made a bunch of different balloon animals, and this particular dog was an edition of a few hundred. You can buy one on Artsy right now if you've got some spare cash lying around: https://www.artsy.net/artwork/jeff-koons-balloon-dog-blue-po...

I guess it's tiny and there are 700 something of them made.
