There can’t be many artists<br />

who can boast a retrospective<br />

in Times Square New York!<br />

Jack Armstrong, creator of<br />

Cosmic ’X’ art, who only ever<br />

painted 100 canvasses, and<br />

can never paint another, is<br />

now digitally exposed big<br />

time, right above the main<br />

entrance of Ripley’s, Times<br />

Square, NY. He eschewed the<br />

galleries and auction houses<br />

and demonstrated to the art<br />

world that an artist can make<br />

it to the top on his own. He<br />

bypassed their high fees and<br />

used modern technology to<br />

show his exquisitely colorful<br />

work to the world. Like his uncle Neil who took that daring first step on the moon and famously said<br />

“One small step for man and one giant leap for mankind”, Jack has taken one giant leap for artists. His<br />

message is in true spirit of the American dream. “He who dares wins.” This retrospective follows his<br />

Million Dollar Harley Davidson, the most expensive motorcycle in the world. A few years later his Cosmic<br />

ARTbike, caused a $3 Million sensation, in Dubai at the Big Boys Toys prestigious exhibition. He then<br />

firmly put his foot prints on the world to complete his hattrick, when he painted his very own Tony Lama<br />

Cowboy Boots and launched them at a whopping $6 Million. He plans to open his own museum and<br />

support only artists who produce their own work and not art reproduced by factory artists. He has also<br />

announced an art car at $100 Million for 2020. Jack claims that one day his works will sell at prices that<br />

surpass the recent record prices paid for Warhol and Basquiat. Jack was friends with both artists in the<br />

80’s and was named “The Last Wizard” of art by Warhol. A movie about his life staring Damian Chapa<br />

and Eric Roberts, is due for release in 2020.<br />

Thierry Ehrmann founder and CEO of Artprice said, “The attractive returns on art over the last few years<br />

have outperformed many other investments and the Art Market has become an independent, liquid<br />

and efficient market on all continents.” This is reassurance that Art is truly portable wealth and a hedge<br />

against monetary devaluation. Over 50 of Jack’s paintings are in the private hands of savvy collectors and<br />

investors. Scarcity equals value and the acknowledged value of his art is destined to soar over the next<br />

few years.<br />
