The Inspiration of Atlas Shrugged

Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged has inspired millions of people for more than 60 years. From a limited edition copy of the novel, signed and numbered by Rand, to paintings and sculptures by multiple artists inspired by the book’s characters and theme, this year’s auction features many choices for anyone who would like to take home an item that will keep them inspired for years to come.

For those who are looking for other kinds of items, we have still life paintings by artists inspired by Ayn Rand, art and archival reproductions related to The Fountainhead, and archival reproductions related to Rand’s famous “Philosophy: Who Needs It” talk at West Point, offered in honor of the talk’s 50th anniversary.

Rand herself identified that art is what gives each of us “the experience of living in a world where things are as they ought to be.” We hope that you find a wonderful piece of artistic “fuel” for your life among this year’s items.
