David Shapiro, Wall Street Journal Atlas Shrugged  |Individualism  | Nic Rad, an artist based in Williamsburg, created the most expensive piece in the exhibition, a painting that ultimately sold for $500. The painting was a portrait of a decidedly blue-blooded cat, standing on its hind legs, smoking a pipe and carrying a book. “I thought to myself, ‘What book would befit a wealthy cat? A self-made cat? A radical individualist? A feline objectivist? A cat of genius? A cat of distinction?’” said Mr. Rad, before pointing to the book in the cat’s paw: “Catlas Shrugged.”   Published: 2012-09-11
