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 />
