According to art market website Artnet, two of the three editions have already sold, with the last now going for $150,000.
The work, by Maurizio Cattelan, was presented by Perrotin, a contemporary art gallery founded in Paris that has had a long association with the Italian artist.
It is Cattelan's first contribution to an art fair in 15 years, the gallery said.
The work “offers insight [into] how we assign worth and what kind of objects we value”, according to a statement from Perrotin gallery.
