Im November 2021 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion 20th/21st Century: Amsterdam durch, in der auch die Arbeit Bjerget (Mountain) von Per Kirkeby zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 118.750,00 und damit 70% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Per Kirkeby auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit ohne Titel im Juni 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 431.250,00 (€ 484.788,96).
