Dear Collector, 2017 went out with a bang! Many consider art auctions are both expensive and manipulated. This is the reason some 70% of all art may now be sold by private sale. Incredible prices. Salvator Mundi, despite being a controversial Da Vinci, sold at auction recently for some $450M. This astonishing price is understandable for an old master, given the strength of the current market. Incredibly at the same auction the Cy Twombly contemporary painting pictured below sold for the princely figure of £45M…..enormous profits for all involved. It may be difficult for any outsider to understand the value of this piece however contemporary art prices have exploded over the past decade and will probably continue to rise. TEFAF reported that the global art market reached a staggering $45,000,000,000,000 (45 Billion dollars) in 2016 and stated that the market was up by 1.7% on the previous year. They also reported, “In a thriving international art business there was a marked shift to private transactions”. Cosmic Harley Davidson. 2010 saw the public launch of Cosmic Extensionalist artist Jack Armstrong when he painted the Million Dollar Harley Davidson. Armstrong, a relative of Neil Armstrong, eschewed the galleries and dealers and sold privately in the million dollar range. The Million Dollar Cosmic Harley promotion was the brainchild of Robert Star and it is still lauded as the most expensive production motorcycle in the world. It is currently back on the market with a $10 Million price tag. The high value for Armstrong’s art was achieved not only by the intrinsic magic and beauty of the art but by the uniqueness of his extremely limited production. Armstrong swore never to paint more than 100 cavasses, assuring collectors of future explosive values. His genius is recognized by such collectors as Alice Walton who owns 2 paintings. Narenda Patel, Michael Jackson, Michel Polnareff and Donny York are also among his famous collectors. Jack Armstrong, is on the verge of a media explosion despite his rebel stance. There is a commitment for a thirty minute PBS documentary (Viewership 109 million and 46 million households) and Star Global has already produced their movie trailer featuring Damian Chapa and Eric Roberts. The movie on his life UNTITLED-Cy Twombly $45,000,000 story begins with his early childhood and fixation with the largest black star sapphire in the world. Jack became the owner of this unique gemstone, known as “The Black Star Sapphire of Queensland”, a 743 ct. stone believed to have magic powers and reportedly worth $100 million. Star Global is committed to continuing promotion which includes their commitment to a public/auction price in the very near future. All this activity will ensure the future value of the art and bring credence to his nickname, “The Last Wizard”, given to him by his friend Andy Warhol. Jack’s paintings have been compared by critics to “Jackson Pollock” (see critique in the magazine). Opportunity. Jack Armstrong’s art is currently valued and priced between $1.5M to $10M and is institutionally insurable. At these figures there is an outstanding opportunity for a savvy collector/investor to get on board for what could be the next Van Gogh. You can read more at http://starglobalintl.com . Particularly read the 4-page interview with Armstrong and reproduced in Star Global’s digital magazine. This interview was submitted to Art & Museum, the insert supplement of the elite Family Office magazine, by Derek Culley who first discovered Damien Hirst. A hard copy of the first edition magazine which reprints 46 Armstrong Cosmic Extensionalism paintings is available in very limited numbers. Star Global will be happy to send the first few people who register their interest a copy of this prestigious souvenir first edition magazine. Get ahead of the curve with an art investment. Robert Star CEO STAR GLOBAL INTERNATIONAL INC. 2 WARHOL NAKED –Jack Armstrong $10M
BLACK STAR SAPPHIRE OWNER JACK ARMSTRONG COSMIC HARLEY DAVIDSON This magazine catalogues some 46 of the amazing 100 paintings of cosmic artist and art rebel Jack Armstrong whom I’ve known for 12 years. Letters by the artist himself regarding 3 of his seminal pieces, his Triptych, have been included. Jack now in his sixties and in declining health is still flamboyant, out spoken and even arrogant at times. However, underneath this mask, he is a very caring and sensitive man with a deep passion for the millions of forgotten artists who could never break through the wall of the “art cartel”, his name for the major art galleries and auction houses. These establishments alone decide who is to be or not to be the celebrated and wealthiest artists. Jack has shown another way with his new style of modern art, “Cosmic Extensionalism” and self-promotion, making it possible for an artist to jump the wall. With help from Star Global International he launched the Million Dollar Cosmic Harley in 2010. It is the most famous and expensive motorcycle in the world. He has never participated in an auction, yet he has made direct high-value sales to very wealthy buyers. As a young boy on a visit to the Smithsonian Museum with his mother, Jack was fixated by a unique and precious stone, a 733-carat sapphire, the Black Star Sapphire of Queensland. He promised his mother that one day he would buy the stone and he did. The stone spoke to him and told him he would be a famous artist and to paint exactly 100 paintings and never another. As a young model and artist in the 1980s in New York, Jack ran with such iconic artists as Andy Warhol, Jean Michel Basquiat, and Keith Haring. Indeed, Andy Warhol gave him the name “The Last Wizard”. I developed the concept of the “Million Dollar Harley” as a branding tool similar to Warhol’s soup can. My aim was to connect with a larger and more current generation and this rocketed Jack to super star status. The Cosmic Harley and artist even reached the cover of the Pakistani Times. They are now well entrenched in the psyche of many people and currently 2 books have chapters talking about the Cosmic Harley. Any researcher will see numerous articles in newspapers, magazines, internet, and on radio & TV. While not quite as famous as his uncle, astronaut Neil Armstrong, Jack is the subject of “The Last Wizard” a movie, staring Damian Chapa and Eric Roberts, being made soon about his life. Damian was introduced in the 1980s to Jack at a Warhol Party by Details Magazine’s brilliant writer Stephan Saban. With only 100 paintings in the entire world these colorful, multilayered, acrylic on canvas paintings, are held closely by savvy collectors who bought directly from the artist himself or through Star Global International. The art has Jack’s finger prints, thumb prints, hand prints, and DNA in all of the 100 paintings - a process cleverly devised by the artist to thwart forgeries. However, Star Global is keeping track and can authenticate all of the paintings. Twenty-five paintings are destined to form the basis of a museum which the artist will open soon. He aims to help other talented artists showcase their talents. This means only 75 paintings can ever be available for sale. About 80 of Jack’s paintings are 24” x 36” before framing and are multi-layered and amazingly vibrant. Starting prices are currently from $1,950,000 rising steeply to $12,000,000. Two paintings, 36” x 48”, are valued at $4,9500,00 each and one piece de resistance, “Cosmic Starship Arrival”, 48” x 60”, recently valued at $6,500,000. Alice Walton WalMart billionaire and owner of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, architect Narendra Patel, French superstar Michel Polnareff, Donny York of iconic pop group Sha Na Na, and Eric Roberts are listed among his famous collectors. Very recently a 4-page in-depth interview with Jack appeared in Art & Museum. This was submitted by Derek Culley, the artist who discovered Damien Hirst. The magazine is part of The Family Office Elite Magazine which goes to high net worth individuals usually with assets around $100 + million dollars. Jack’s paintings are destined to be virtually priceless and a renowned art valuation expert told Star Global that the “sky is the limit” since there are only 100 paintings. It is most unlikely that any of these paintings will find their way to market soon as most current owners are certain that the contemporary art market is expanding. Owning an Armstrong is a combination of something exclusive and of beauty to brag about. It’s also about possessing portable wealth. Jack’s story and art are uniquely based on his ownership of the Black Star Sapphire of Queensland which he and many believe has magical powers of good fortune! 3
