Do you want to make a fashion statement? Well put on a pair of “Cosmic Cowboy Boots” by artist by Jack Armstrong. You will be showing off the Most Expensive Boots in the World.

As a renowned American artist around the world, Jack Armstrong is the founder of the revolutionary modern art style named “Cosmic Extensionalism.” Jack Armstrong has actually been painting since he was only 5 years old. At that early age, his artistic talent was obvious.

https://www.thelifeofluxury.com/christmas-2021-cosmic-x-masterpiece-art-sale-6-paintings-600m/

Years later as an adult, he moves to New York City. There he becomes best friends with Andy Warhol. Warhol too saw the talent first hand. Therefore, Andy Warhol acknowledged Armstrong’s talent by giving him the nickname “The Last Wizard.”

So how would you describe the works of eccentric Jack Armstrong? It’s his own unique and unparalleled Cosmic X style. The style is derived from a combination of extreme textures and colors. As a result, words actually appear throughout each painting. The stunning effect is done by viewing his art at different angles. As a nice twist for those who buy his work, you can actually see his bold signature appear in the middle.

A promise Armstrong made is to create just 100 pieces of art in his lifetime. Therefore, each piece has more meaning and he can focus on quality, rather than quantity. The latter often destroys an artist’s career by over saturating the market.

Now it’s time for Jack Armstrong to wow the world once again. “Cosmic Cowboy Boots” is his latest creation. At a whopping $6 million, it becomes the world’s most expensive boots. Jack already owned a perfect pair of 1968 Tony Lama boots. Tony Lama boots have long been a popular brand of boots. Interestingly, the boot brand is favored by many U.S. Presidents and actually worn by President Harry S. Truman. With his own pair of boots, Armstrong painted them and the result is amazing.

The world’s most expensive boots can be yours for $6 million dollars. It’s obviously not for everybody. But art is often described as a commodity with no ceiling on value. As a result, it’s value and beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

At the Big Boys Toys exhibition, bespoke luxury innovations are available to affluent buyers who live a luxury lifestyle. Items are trendy and a “must have” for those want the best. In 2014 at the Dubai show, Jack Armstrong introduced his “Cosmic Star Cruiser” custom bike for $3 million.

Artist Jack Armstrong will unveil the World’s Most Expensive Car in Monte Carlo – his $200 Million Bugatti ‘X’ hypercar.

Scheduled for January 2025, it will celebrate Armstrong’s 50th Anniversary as an artist. As the founder of Cosmic ‘X’ Art, he worked with both Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol at the start of his iconic career.

His painting ‘Warhol Naked‘ at $300 Million, along with his Cosmic ‘Starship’ Harley-Davidson motorcycle rate alongside the rarest modern objects in the world.

Million Dollar Harley Art For Collectors – By Jack Armstrong

The current world record, a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe was one of only two ever made.  It was sold from the Mercedes-Benz corporate museum in Stuttgart, Germany in May 2022 to a private collector for 141 million EUR (138 million GBP or 142 million USD). The record sale proceeds were used to establish the Mercedes-Benz Fund.

Armstrong’s Bugatti will be a “one-off” masterpiece that will crown his career records as a unique and internationally celebrated artist with the most expensive Bicycle, Motorcycle and Supercar in the world.

His Tony Lama “Cosmic Cowboy Boots” are the world’s finest at $6 Million. The company is owned by his fellow Omaha, Nebraska native – Warren Buffett.  Armstrong is celebrated worldwide and recently featured in Esquire Magazine, Saudi Arabia.

Armstrong will include African artist Denis Mutabazi of Tanzania on the new Bugatti Art-Car. Armstrong has previously worked with Mexican Artist Jaime Carbo. He says: “Mutabazi is Africa’s most unique artist and he developed a one million bead art process that no one else can replicate.”

Ultimate Cosmic X Synergy: Jaime Carbo and Jack Armstrong Collaboration 

Armstrong states that Carbo in Mexico and Mutabazi in Tanzania, “are completely unique in the same iconic vein as Warhol and Basquiat in creating new concepts. I am most fortunate to collaborate with both. These two artists will become legends in the future and it’s an honor to work alongside them.”

As for creating the most expensive art objects in the world, Armstrong says, “Warhol would be amazed at his $195 Million ‘Marilyn’ record, plus Basquiat at $110 Million for his Blue Skull painting and with Da Vinci in top place at $450 Million.”

Armstrong states, “I will retire in 2025. My legacy is my art and the wonderful artists I worked with in my career. With only 100 paintings in the world, Cosmic ‘X’ Art is the world’s rarest and I believe will reach One Billion Dollars for each original painting in the near future.  I also offer sales in Bitcoin for my top collectors.”

In closing, Jack Armstrong states, “I look forward to unveiling my $200 Million Bugatti in Monte Carlo next year.  It will magically descend from the sky, just as I did with my Harley-Davidson in 2010. Somewhere in art heaven, high above Monaco, I think Warhol and Basquiat will be smiling and watching this rarest Bugatti, descend to earth.”

Introducing the “Cosmic X Star” – Another World Record Created by Jack Armstrong

Now you can attach the ultra-luxury women’s fashion designer label to artist Jack Armstrong’s long list of credits.  Coming soon at $7.3 Million, his Cosmic X Star women’s handbag will smash the Birkin bag record, the Mouawad diamond handbag record and even the ‘Easter Egg’ women’s purse record.
https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/most-expensive-luxury-handbags-hermes-birkin-chanel-louis-vuitton

Armstrong is the modern day Van Gogh and worked with global icons Warhol and Basquiat in New York City.  He has exhibited his own creations worldwide, selling to some of the world’s richest billionaires.

Artist Jack Armstrong Will Create The World’s Most Expensive Handbag for Women. Priced at $7.3 Million. 

The luxury handbag will be titled the Cosmic X Star and will top all Hermes Birkin and other diamond encrusted bags, to become the ultimate rare art fashion accessory for women.
https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-luxury/article/1960045/hermes-birkin-handbag-auctioned-world-record-hk233m-hong

The Cosmic X Star lady’s bag will be a one of a kind original and suitable for the ultimate client.  The luxury handbag will be custom painted by Armstrong in his famous Cosmic X style and he will partner with a renowned luxury brand.

Armstrong will partner with a leading luxury brand to exhibit the most expensive women’s fashion bag ever created.  It will break all records including the Mouawad diamond handbag.

The price tag of $7.3 million is a reflection of the finest art accessory in the world, for the ultimate UHNW art collector.  This art piece will be suitable for the most exclusive event or equally at home in the new owner’s private collection of art and fashion.

There will only be one original handbag and 100 Serigraph prints on exotic bags, created by Armstrong and the designer working closely together.  A serigraph print is an original piece of artwork utilizing a process that applies ink through a silkscreen onto a material.

The 100 Serigraph print exotic handbags will be priced between $100,000 to $200,000 each, depending on the material chosen.

The Ultimate Gift, World’s Most Valuable.

Cosmic ‘X’ Luxury Bag to be exclusively named for the buyer:

If the Cosmic X Star handbag is purchased in advance of its completion, Armstrong will “name” the bag for the new owner.  Like the iconic Hermes bag named for Jane Birkin, the new (icon/name) will always be identified with the ‘X’ bag, creating an ultra-current, fashion meets art – moment in time.

If Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos were to purchase it as a wedding gift for his upcoming nuptials with Lauren Sanchez, it would be renamed the ‘Lauren‘ bag – replacing the Birken bag in high fashion.

Just like the Elizabeth Taylor diamond, which was named for the film star, the Cosmic X Star handbag will carry its new owner’s name proudly into the future.  It will be the ultimate gift for the ultimate UHNW couple or individual.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Taylor_Diamond

Armstrong has completed only 100 paintings and art objects owned by UHNW collectors globally.  This will be Armstrong’s final fashion statement, after creating the world’s most valuable painting, motorcycle, boots and bicycle.  Although his last, the Cosmic X Star luxury bag will be perhaps his finest project.

A new revolution is coming or is it already here?  Three simple letters – NFT (Non-Fungible Token) are changing the world.  One of the biggest opportunities now available is from famous, modern artist Jack Armstrong.  Mr. Armstrong is excited to announce the creation of the biggest NFT art offering – the $100 Million “Cosmic X 100” NFT.

In 2021, NFTs are taking the tech world by storm.  Utilizing “blockchain” technology, NFT assets are being sold in a virtual, online marketplace.  Items consist of art, music, sports cards, as well as other collectibles.  For example, Jack Dorsey is the CEO of Twitter and Square and sold his very first Tweet as an NFT, for over $2.9 million.

In a recent article by Fortune titled – Crypto millionaires’ love of NFTs is a boon for the aging art market — but galleries may miss out – we could be experiencing firsthand, a paradigm shift in the sale of art.  All driven by the stunning NFT craze.

Jack’s “Cosmic X 100” NFT includes a collection of 100 digital images, representing all 100 of his original “Cosmic X” acrylic paintings. (Note: the above image is not the actual NFT). There are less than 30 of his original paintings available for sale.  They range from $10-$113 million each.  Therefore, the “Cosmic X 100” NFT art package of all 100 digital paintings for $100 million, is truly a bargain!

Click to view the entire art collection:

Jack stated, “NFTs are a new digital paradigm for art and the world.  The art world has moved 20 years into the future, in a virtual night with NFTs.”

“The Last Wizard” – Now Offered at $110 Million

The “Cosmic X 100” NFT is a unique, digital offering of 100 individual Armstrong “Cosmic X” images.  At only $1 million dollars each, this offering provides the buyer an opportunity to acquire all 100 “Cosmic X” Images in the world – Armstrong’s life work.

All 100 NFTs will be sold as a group for $100 million.  Therefore, they then can be auctioned, held privately, or sold privately at the discretion of the buyer – either individually or as a complete collection.  We strongly feel the upside value is tremendous!

____________________________________________________________

What is an NFT?

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens are essentially digital deeds or certificates, attached to the blockchain.  When an NFT is created, a unique identifier, typically a string of numbers and letters records the creation date.  It’s then added to a blockchain’s historical record.

The certificates are secured with blockchain technology, similar to what underpins Bitcoin and other crypto.  It’s this information that makes each NFT unique, and as such, they cannot be directly replaced by another token.

NFTs are digital certificates that authenticate a claim of ownership to an asset, and allow it to be transferred or sold.

Investing in NFTs is booming.  According to TechCrunch, NFT art marketplace SuperRare closes $9 million Series A.  Several well known names are listed as investors in SuperRare.

A quote from Jack Armstrong, “Museums will become digital art spaces as real estate and other commodities will all utilize blockchain NFT metadata to thrive in this new paradigm where everyone can participate.”

____________________________________________________________

The Value of Scarcity

Jack has said, “Everything valuable is about rarity.”  This is so true.  But the current NFT craze may be changing that logic forever.

With 100 original Cosmic ‘X’ paintings available and 100 NFTs (1 of each painting in digital image), Armstrong currently ranks #1 as the rarest post modern art in the world.  As a result, Jack Armstrong is on track to break every existing, record price in art.

The recent Beeple (Mike Winkelmann) NFT art sale in March, achieved a record $69 million.  Even though the artist’s record price for a print is only $100.  The art is titled “Everydays: The First 5000 Days.“  Beeple collected approximately $55 million from the sale and Christie’s auction house received about $14 million.  This milestone makes NFTs a proven portal and the future of art sales.

NFTs now make individual art pieces unique. By synergizing NFTs with the proven rarity of Cosmic ‘X’ art, this creates a huge opportunity to collect the entire Cosmic ‘X’ art portfolio.  This seems to us, the ultimate financial hedge by utilizing the world’s rarest art, with completely secure ownership on the blockchain.

It’s amazing that Vincent Van Gogh produced almost 2,000 works of art in his life, including over 900 paintings.  The Dutch Post-Impressionist painter’s most famous piece – The Starry Night is an oil on canvas.  The Starry Night‘ painting by Van Gogh would sell for more than $1 billion dollars if placed on the market today.  It is Van Gogh’s magnum opus and the same will become reality for ‘Warhol Naked‘ – the seminal painting in “Cosmic X.”

On the other hand, artist Damien Hirst has produced many thousands of factory assisted paintings & art objects already on the market & has announced he will release 10 thousand more art NFT’S this year.

In conclusion, global art consensus dictates that only exclusivity and rarity drive the top of the market.  The highest prices will be achieved by the rarest works on the market such as the $450 million Salvator Mundi  painting by Leonardo Da Vinci.  The reason Da Vinci’s art is expensive is because less than 20 originals exist in the world.

Jack Armstrong’s Early Years

Let’s step back for a moment and learn more about iconic artist, Jack Armstrong’s incredible, art career.

While living in New York City for 8 years, Jack personally knew and collaborated with iconic artists Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring.  In fact, Andy actually called Jack “The Last Wizard of Art.”

Armstrong refused a solo art exhibition by Leo Castelli, who was the most powerful dealer of modern art in the world.  Castelli also represented Warhol, Lichtenstein, Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns.  As a result, he held the largest roster of famous names in art in modern history.

By refusing a solo show that would have made him known in the upper echelons of the rarified world of NY art in the 1980’s, Armstrong knew that he would have to find something new & unique.  He realized that he needed to become as radical as Vincent Van Gogh’s work was in the 1880’s. History showed that Van Gogh was shunned by the art world a century before Armstrong’s “Cosmic X“.

An interesting fact is Jack’s first million dollar painting sale was to billionaire tobacco heiress, Doris Duke.  Neither Basquiat or Warhol ever sold a million dollar painting before they passed away, in 1987 & 1988 respectively.

Over the years, he has sold paintings to many famous celebrities and wealthy people.  His most expensive “Cosmic X” sales are to a Chinese billionaire and Alice Walton (Walmart heiress).

100 Original “Cosmic X” paintings were created over a 21 year period, after Armstrong repurchased his early works (painted in NYC from 1979-1994).  When they were back in his possession, he shockingly burned them all.  He told me that nothing would stop him from becoming the rarest painter in modern art history.  The reason is due to the limited number of works available for sale and in the originality of a new style of art, that would take him almost 3 decades to discover and create.

____________________________________________________________

The “Cosmic X” Era

In 1999, Jack Armstrong founded a new style of art and named it “Cosmic X.”  He believes cosmic Extensionalism is a direct universal transcendence, in art and in the artist.

Cosmic Extensionalism “X”
https://amp.google-wiki.info/56700314/1/cosmic-extensionalism-x.html

Art has long been desired for its beauty and the unique creation of each artist. But art appeals to each person in a different and personal way. Some art lovers only like the works of a single artist. While others don’t care who created it. As a result, it’s one of the facts that makes the wonderful world of art so special. In addition, the new Jack Armstrong “Cosmic X” Triptych is another huge milestone in the art industry.

We are very proud to cover modern artist Jack Armstrong in numerous, published articles. He is definitely the leader of the Cosmic Extensionalism art movement. Plus, Jack holds the world record for creating the world’s most expensive bicycle (Cosmic Bicycle), boots (Cosmic Cowboy Boots) and motorcycle (Cosmic Starship Harley).

Lucky for the art world, Jack Armstrong is not done yet. He still has plans to create the most expensive car ever – the Armstrong-Bugatti Cosmic X Art-Car. We previously reported that a world record had been set for the most expensive car. It was a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO car that sold in an auction for $70 Million. Once completed, the Armstrong-Bugatti Cosmic X Art-Car will be valued at $100 million!

Jack Armstrong “Cosmic X” Triptych

Now you can purchase an amazing group of Jack’s impressive art collection. The Jack Armstrong “Cosmic X” Triptych contains three of his most impressive pieces and is priced at $470 million.

1) Warhol Naked   2) The Last Wizard   3) Cosmic Starship Harley

Jack personally knew and worked with Andy Warhol, who of course was the leading figure in the visual, Pop Art movement. In 2001, Armstrong painted “Warhol Naked.” This incredible piece of art is a touching tribute to his friend Andy. Jack has stated that one of the proudest moments in his life was being dubbed “The Last Wizard of Art” by Warhol himself. Hence, what an honor that must have been for Jack to be told that in person. Brilliant and bold, this acrylic on canvas painting measures 24″W x 36″H.

“Warhol Naked” – Now Offered at $300 Million

But the largest and most complex painting Jack Armstrong ever painted is titled ““The Last Wizard”.” This colorful and visually brilliant, acrylic on canvas painting is 6 feet by 4 feet in size. Interestingly, it is his largest painting, but also showcases his complete mastery of the Cosmic X art form. The very one Armstrong personally founded.

Armstrong is quoted, “I feel the same way about “The Last Wizard” as Pollock must have felt about his painting “Blue Poles”, “Guernica” to Picasso, “Orange” by Rothko, and “Untitled” by Basquiat. In the future ‘The Last Wizard’ will break the records of his peers, but the power of all these larger than life works will remain as the signposts that signaled the future of art.”

“The Last Wizard” – Now Offered at $120 Million

The “Cosmic Starship Harley“ motorcycle originally sold in August, 2012. This incredible, pristine Harley Davidson V-Rod motorcycle was purchased new in 2009, by Jack Armstrong. It is definitely the very first, most iconic motorcycle ever painted by any artist. As a result, to see the Cosmic Starship Harley in person, is truly a VIP experience.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, art is flourishing. The value of art around the world continues to skyrocket. It has clearly become a sector not just for art collectors, but also serious investors. In 2019, the global art market was valued at approximately 64.12 billion U.S. dollars. It was slightly down from previous year’s total of 67.38 billion U.S. dollars.

According to The Global Art Market in 2019 report, Art Basel and UBS, their study states that in 2019, the “Global art market reaches USD 64.1 billion.” The report states 2019 experienced a strong but slight decrease in sales over the prior year. 2019 was down $3.6 million. After surpassing the UK as the world’s second largest art market in 2018, China holds its spot at #2. The U.S. continues to be #1 with 44% of global sales by value. The top three countries continue to dominate the art industry. The U.S., China, and the UK represent an amazing 82% of total art sales by value.

Private art sales at Christie’s and Phillips dramatically increased in 2019, by 24% to $811 million and by 34% to $172 million, respectively. On the other hand, Sotheby’s saw its private sales hold steady at about $1 billion in private art sales.

Online sales accounted for 5% of dealers’ sales in 2019. 3% based on galleries’ own portals and websites. In addition, the other 2% represent sales from third-party platforms. Although still a small percent of total art sales, we expect the use of third party online platforms and direct sales by artists, to continue to grow. Consumers and investors like the fact they can purchase direct from their favorite artist, from anywhere in the world.

There is no denying that art sells and can sell for very big money! The price appreciation for many pieces of art can be quite jaw-dropping. How is art valued? That is a complex question with no easy answer. But one fact we do know. At the time of sale, art is worth what a willing seller will sell it for and a willing buyer will buy it for.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Jack Armstrong personally knew Jean-Michel Basquiat, who was a Neo-Expressionist painter in the 1980’s. In May of 2017, one his paintings landed him in the record books. His “Untitled” painting set the record for most expensive painting ever sold at an auction by an American artist. The total auction price including fees totaled $110.5 million. Andy Warhol previously held that title when his “Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster)” painting sold for $105 million in 2013.

Grégoire Billault is the head of the Contemporary Art Department at Sotheby’s New York and was quoted, “Tonight, Jean – Michel Basquiat entered the pantheon of artists whose works have commanded prices over $100 million, including Picasso, Giacometti, Bacon, and Warhol. This extraordinary canvas from 1982 has broken so many benchmarks … but those of us lucky enough to have been in it’s presence will only remember its awesome power. To think that it was created by a virtually – unknown 21- year old & was dismissed by critics, is humbling.”

1982 ‘Untitled’ By Basquiat – Sold for $110 Million

In 1973, the National Gallery of Art in Australia purchased “Blue Poles” by American artist Jackson Pollock. The modern abstract painting was bought slightly over 1 Million dollars in Australian currency. Today, that painting is conservatively estimated between 300 million and possibly over 1 Billion dollars!

“Orange Red Yellow” is a painting by Mark Rothko. He had social revolutionary views and believed in an artist’s total freedom of expression. His painting sold in 2012 for an eye-popping $87 million. At the time, it set a new record for post-war/contemporary art.

What is so appealing about the creative works of Cosmic artist Jack Armstrong, is the limited number of his paintings. There are only 100 “Cosmic X” paintings in existence and less than 30 are available for purchase. In addition, each acrylic on canvas painting is multi-layered, but also includes his personal touch. Interestingly, you can find Jack’s own hand prints, finger prints, plus DNA in each painting.

For those who look at art as an investment vehicle, consider this. In an article earlier this year – London Megamansion Sale Expected to Break U.K. Records at More Than £200 Million. It is now one of the world’s most expensive homes and the luxury property features 45 rooms. Think about it …. you can either own a $261 million (£200 million) mega mansion in London or invest in 3 pieces of the World’s Rarest Art, that can increase in value 10 times or more in the near future. It seems like an obvious choice!

We strongly feel that the creative collection of Cosmic Extensionalism art will definitely continue to rise in value. Therefore, whether you are a serious collector of art or an avid investor, Jack Armstrong’s creative works should definitely be on your radar.

What happens when Jack Armstrong, the “Best Modern American Artist” collaborates with Jaime Carbo, the “Best Post Pop Artist in Mexico“?

Answer: The intense colors literally explode off the canvas!  The combination of American artist Jack Armstrong & Mexican artist Jaime Carbo is a Cosmic X Post Pop Art synergy that can only be found in 2 modern paintings in the world.

With Armstrong’s art prices beginning at $10 million today, the unique collaboration with Jaime Carbo allows one to own an Armstrong “Cosmic X” painting for an amazing price.  In addition, this will catapult Carbo’s own work into the million dollar plus level, per piece.

https://www.thelifeofluxury.com/christmas-2021-cosmic-x-masterpiece-art-sale-6-paintings-600m/

Jack Armstrong collaborated with his favorite modern painter in Mexico.  He states, “Carbo is a modern Mexican Cosmic Art Master. His work is unlike any other and will be in museums worldwide, in the near future.”

Armstrong personally owns 19 paintings by Jaime Carbo. He conceived, commissioned and painted on two of them.  Here is an overview of each painting:

1. The FAROS (Cosmic “Revolution”) painting by Carbo/Armstrong.
About 7 years ago, this painting was commissioned from Carbo by Armstrong for only $20K.  Jack also painted the Cosmic X background on it.  Plus, he signed the back in gold spray paint with his own fingerprints in the paint.  It is the finest modern Mexican painting by any artist in the last 70 years, including Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, or Tamayo.

“Revolution” is a ‘Cosmic Mexican Masterpiece’ and signifies the revolutionary way the Mexican Culture is thriving in the 21st century. As a result, the country is becoming a powerhouse with some of the most ‘Revolutionary’ new art in the world.

It is Carbo’s largest and most extraordinary painting at 8 Ft X 4 Ft, acrylic on wood.  The painting is museum quality for any “Post Pop Art” with Jack’s “COSMIC X” additions.  It’s almost a surreal cosmic “POINTALISM” like George Seurat – https://masterpiecesociety.com/georges-seurat/

The Silver Shaman on the Cosmic X Universal Surfboard in the center of Revolution, signifies the intense Cosmic winds that arrive in Art & Life that create everything good in the world.

‘Faros’ is one of the oldest cigarettes in Mexico history.  It is synonymous with “Revolution & Fire In the Mind & the Soul.”  Therefore, Jack and Jaime Carbo used it to create a magical “natural” fiery revolution for “cosmic thinking” and cosmic Art.  The painting is simply spectacular and the colors are quite stunning.

Faros was smoked by Pancho Villa & Emiliano Zapata during the Mexican Revolution. Therefore, virtually confirming Faros as the symbolic ‘Fire of the Revolution.’
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancho_Villa
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emiliano_Zapata

Jaime Carbo states, “The Revolution painting I think will one day be in one of Mexico City’s magnificent Modern Museo’s of Art, & if it somehow ends up opposite a Frida Kahlo, in the Museo Soumaya, founded by Carlos Slim, Mexico’s richest man, it would be in very good company.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museo_Soumaya (photo above)

Jack believes it’s the only major painting in the world featuring Faros, as a symbol of the modern spark of Revolution.  Villa & Zapata are perfect metaphors for today’s demonstrations worldwide, as both were the major champions of the common people in Mexico.

No doubt, Carbo will become world re-known, when ‘Revolution’ is eventually exhibited in a museum. Now you can own it!

Price: $20 Million

—————————————————–

2. THE “COSMIC GIRL” painting by Carbo/Armstrong.
This painting was commissioned, co-painted and signed by Jack in gold paint on the back of the canvas.  The painting is 40 x 40 inches and acrylic on canvas.

According to Jack, it reminds him of a cosmic “LICHTENSTEIN” painting, along with the “COSMIC X POINTALISM” backgrounds created by Jack.

“Cosmic Girl” is spectacular and jumps quite literally off of the canvas.

Price: $10 Million

—————————————————–

Jaime Carbo is very famous in Mexico.  His many hand painted murals can be found all over Mexico.  In fact, Carbo has created artwork for the government in Athens, Greece.  Plus, he’s done statues in both China and Mexico.

Both of these stunning and creative paintings are deeply textured and colored.  In fact, either would make the perfect addition to anyone’s art collection.  As a result, the collaboration between Armstrong and Carbo on both paintings, make them extremely rare in the world of modern art.

You can read the interview with Jaime Carbo in “Art & Museum Magazine UK” – Autumn 2018 edition (pg 45-46).  Both this article and the one below with Jack Armstrong, was written by Derek Cully. He discovered Damien Hirst and gave him his first two exhibitions in London.
https://issuu.com/familyofficeelitemagazine/docs/am-autumn-18-single

Jack states, “I commissioned both works 7 years ago for my private collection and collaborated with Carbo on both paintings.  I am proud to be associated with a modern master of motion, light, & cosmic energy.  He understands that everything I believe in my “Cosmic X” Philosophy, he also believes, & incorporates into his magical work, with color exploding off his canvases.”
https://www.thelifeofluxury.com/excitement-is-building-for-the-cosmic-x-book-by-jack-armstrong/

Jack continues, “In Mexican Art, he is at a level all his own, with no peers, in sight.  He can only be explained as this centuries Tamayo.”

Armstrong personally knew and collaborated with iconic artists Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat.  Jack has told me that one of the proudest moments in his life was when Andy Warhol named him “The Last Wizard” of art.  His artwork and paintings are amazing and prices keep skyrocketing.
https://www.thelifeofluxury.com/cosmic-x-experience-from-artist-jack-armstrong-comes-to-new-york-city/

“The Last Wizard” label has now become the title of the upcoming movie about Jack’s life.  It is scheduled to be released later this year.  In addition, Armstrong created just 100 “Cosmic X” paintings and only less than 30 remain for sale.

Here’s another example how art continues to appreciate in value.  Ken Griffin is the founder of Citadel, and recently purchased a contemporary painting by American artist Jean Michel Basquiat … for an eye-popping $100 million!

In another exclusive interview with world renowned, Cosmic-X artist Jack Armstrong, he discusses the meteoric rise of art. It seems like new records are being set on a regular basis in the world of art.  We strongly believe Jack Armstrong’s name will soon be among the list of famous artists of all time.

Cosmic X artist Jack Armstrong states, “Every 100 years, a master creator arrives & teaches the entire art world, that the accepted concepts of what is possible to achieve in modern art is in-correct.”

Cosmic ‘X’ Art Collection – 2024 Price List

“In the 20th century, Picasso, Pollock and Warhol completely dominated each of their era’s in modern art before Jean-Michel Basquiat arrived on the art scene, homeless, and insolvent, yet still able to break all the established rules of the art game, becoming a new kind of modern artist, more hip than Warhol, a nonconformist who disrupted the established system, and then challenged Andy for his crown.”

Now in the 21st century, Armstrong remains in a cosmically cool singular paradigm of his own unique creation. With his 100 Cosmic ‘X’ Paintings, he will eventually dominate all the top spots in modern art history – as the rarest most sought after art in the world.

The price point of $1B dollars per painting is as easily achievable for Armstrong’s future as the last Leonardo Da Vinci painting was for Sotheby’s, when it was sold for almost $500M even with a disputed art pedigree.

Before the Da Vinci sale, not *one art *expert *believed $1/2 a billion for a single painting was possible. The same will be true for Armstrong when he sells either privately for $1 billion per piece or reaches $1B at an auction.

“Warhol Naked” – Price: $300 million

Armstrong continues, “The entire world will then know what many inside the art industry fear. That one singularly unique artist with high profile private collectors is able to entirely change & dominate a game where dealers, museums & auction houses have traditionally made rules that all modern artists still believe they must obey.”

Armstrong does not give his client list or provide past sales. He says, “Does Ferrari tell Rolls Royce how to make one-off Ultra-Rare ‘Bespoke’ Cars & then tell them what their price should be? How dare anyone tell me how to price something so rare. Remember that less than 100 people on earth, can ever have a chance to own one.”

When something is so rare the word ‘priceless’ is the (only) word that can describe it. It means that even $1 Billion dollars per painting will sound like a bargain price for Armstrong originals in the near future.

In 2024, Armstrong’s private collection of 27 paintings are priced from $20M -$300M.

Armstrong’s “The Last Wizard” painting (featured photo) measures 72″W x 48″H.  This stunning, acrylic painting is Jacks’ largest and most complex. It’s not only his grandest painting in scale, but also created in the complete mastery of the “Cosmic X” art form that he founded in 1999.

In addition to his incredible painting collection, you can also own the world’s most expensive motorcycle, cowboy boots or even his stunning Love Glove and Mirage Hat. As a tribute, the world’s most expensive glove and hat have been created in honor of the 10th anniversary of the “King Of Pop” Michael Jackson’s passing.

We hope you enjoyed the interview with “Cosmic X” artist Jack Armstrong. Come back soon to read about the latest art world news and painting sales.

Renowned “Cosmic X” artist Jack Armstrong, has just completed a painting to replace the $13M “Steve McQueen Le Mans” painting stolen in Dallas last year. The new one is titled, Cosmic ‘X’ Paradigm and is now available for sale at $110 million.

The news of the theft was first published in May 2018 by The Hollywood Times – Iconic $13M Painting ‘Steve McQueen Le Mans’ Stolen In Dallas and shocked the art industry. While on loan prior to a celebrity exhibition in New York City, the amazing painting has reported to be stolen from a private home in Texas. To date, this crime still remains unsolved.

Jack Armstrong created it to honor Steve McQueen’s popular 1971 film Le Mans. The legendary film star was known for performing his own stunt driving in the movie.

Photo: Wikipedia

Armstrong said that McQueen’s performance in both Bullitt & Le Mans inspired the painting. Jack first met Steve McQueen in 1977 at Musso & Frank Grill in Hollywood, California. It’s the oldest restaurant in Hollywood and celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Like many Hollywood celebrities, Musso Franks was a favorite eating establishment of McQueen.

Jack recounts, “I spent over an hour with Steve & told him I planned to one day create the most expensive motorcycle & most valuable art car in the world. He said Kid, New York City is the right place for you to be seen. Keep in touch with me. If they turn out great, I might be interested in them myself. Right after meeting Steve, I planned my NYC move thanks to his encouragement.”

Widely known as “The King of Cool“, Steve McQueen personally encouraged Armstrong’s journey to New York City, where he later was associated with famous artists Andy Warhol and Jean Michel Basquiat.

Jack said, “Talking to the biggest movie star in the world seemed completely ‘cosmic’ for an art kid born in Kansas and grew up in Omaha. My ‘Steve McQueen Le Mans’ painting was created in my ‘Cosmic X’ style of art. It’s the only piece of mine dedicated to a Hollywood personality.”

He was asked about the stunning theft of the McQueen painting last year. Jack comments, “Art at the Cosmic X level has a universal appeal. For the person that desires it above anything else, if they cannot afford it, theft is a result. I do not think the painting will be recovered as 7 other examples of my works have been taken & never found. Perhaps, I will simply create 7 new pieces some day so there will be 100 Cosmic X originals, once again.”

As a result, to continue honoring Steve McQueen, Jack decided to replace the original $13M “Steve McQueen Le Mans” painting.

“The painting is a direct inspiration from my universal Cosmic ‘X’ book series. It includes a metaphysical cosmic realization in the art that details humanity’s future paradigm.” Cosmic ‘X’ Paradigm, the final Armstrong Cosmic ‘X’ masterpiece, is 24×36 acrylic on canvas. It is (1) of only 5 Cosmic X paintings now priced at $100M or above.”

“Warhol Naked” – Now Offered at $110 Million

As reported in a previous article – https://www.thelifeofluxury.com/jack-armstrong-cosmic-x-art-the-next-big-investment-opportunity/ Jack Armstrong personally knew Jean-Michel Basquiat, who was a Neo-Expressionist painter in the 1980’s. In May of 2017, his “Untitled” painting set the record for most expensive painting ever sold at an auction by an American artist. The total Sotheby’s auction price including fees totaled $110.5 million. Purchased by Yusaku Maezawa, this billionaire is an avid art collector and online fashion mogul.

1982 ‘Untitled’ By Basquiat – Sold for $110.5 Million

Armstrong says, “Cosmic X Paradigm, answers the cosmic solution to reality vs infinity, (thru alternate universal existence) which transcend standard religion & philosophical thinking,  taking the viewer visually to an individual cosmic enlightenment with cosmic ‘X’ as both stimuli that transcends art & our imagined state of reality.”
https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/features/are-we-living-simulated-universe-n713031

Jack concludes, “It now seems appropriate that my last painting depicts humanity’s golden future symbolized in ‘cosmic x art.”

In addition, Jack Armstrong recently introduced two incredible pieces of art made with gold and now available for sale.  They were created to honor Michael Jackson and the upcoming documentary film “Mirroring Michael Jackson“, premiering in August.

Jack also holds the world record for the most expensive motorcycle, cowboy boots and bicycle.

These would be ideal for any investor to own and have bragging rights by owning world record art! Plus, Jack has over 20 original paintings available for sale.

In a follow-up to the highly successful, exclusive interview with Jack Armstrong, I had the honor to talk with him again. This time about developing two iconic pieces of art as a tribute to the “King of Pop.”
https://www.thelifeofluxury.com/in-depth-interview-with-cosmic-artist-jack-armstrong/

This time our discussion is about the upcoming documentary film “Mirroring Michael Jackson.” As a tribute, the world’s most expensive glove has been created in honor of the 10th anniversary of the “King Of Pop” Michael Jackson’s passing.

Michael Jackson Tribute – Cosmic X Love Glove – Price: $10M

Cosmic Artist Jack Armstrong created the “Cosmic X Love Glove” over a 3 month period. It will be featured in the upcoming MJ documentary film titled “Mirroring Michael Jackson.”
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7643430/

Back in 1983, Michael Jackson was #1 on Billboard’s top album and singles charts for a staggering six weeks in a row. With this milestone, it made Michael the first artist in music history to reach the peak of the four pop and R&B charts at the same time. What an incredible accomplishment!

The Mirroring Michael Jackson film’s producer is Kira Madallo Sesay. She asked Jack Armstrong if he could create a new, cosmic art love glove that MJ could have worn on tour, if he were back on earth magically performing one final show.  When asked about the “Cosmic X Love Gove”, Kira was quoted, “The Golden MJ Glove is iconic cosmic art that will be known forever and uniquely signifies Michael Jackson’s reign as the King Of Pop, alongside his golden vision of peace & love for the world.”

Jack replied, “Given his penchant for sequins, golden pants, jackets & accessories …. I created a multi-layered Cosmic X Love Glove, that includes multi-colored Cosmic ‘X’ painted surfaces. They almost look as if MJ is making a fist in the air to show he is still with us & leading us to be better caretakers of the planet, share love & hope with the world. And of course, inspiring all the brilliant new entertainers that will follow his legendary ‘moonwalk’ into showbiz.”

Armstrong continues, “Michael always said it wasn’t about how famous you become, but how much you do for the people in your community & in the world. MJ gave more money than any other entertainer in history to charities & helped thousands around the world.  He provided generous donations while visiting sick children in hospitals everywhere he traveled. All the while, Michael was inspiring millions with his music & new vision for the world.”

In the past, we are proud to have covered modern artist Jack Armstrong in several previous articles. He’s the leader of the Cosmic Extensionalism art movement. In addition, Jack holds the world record for creating the world’s most expensive bike, boots (Cosmic Cowboy Boots) and motorcycle (Cosmic Harley).

Jack also created the “Golden Cosmic Mirage Hat,” to compliment the MJ “Cosmic X Love Glove.” Both one-of-a-kind, the ‘Love Glove’ is now available for $10M and the ‘Cosmic Mirage Hat’ is $7M.  These two pieces of art will never be duplicated. Due to this fact, their rarity will generate much interest in both the art and entertainment industry.

Michael Jackson Cosmic X Love Glove and Golden Cosmic Mirage Hat – Price: $10M / $7M

It’s apparent that both Michael Jackson pieces include gold. How much is still a mystery. Armstrong will not discuss the amount of actual gold used in the creation of his MJ Mirage Hat & Love Glove art objects. Jack did say, “they are virtually priceless.”

Jack said, “MJ could wear both in concert if he were here, as he was my friend since 1979, when we met thru Andy Warhol.”

He continues, “I gave Michael abstract painting lessons in NYC & I believe if he had lived longer, he would have personally created more charities to help women & children. In addition, he also would have politically campaigned to help change the prison & judicial system in America, for people wrongfully arrested & imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. These subjects were all very close to his heart & he spoke about change often.”

Cosmic X Book by iconic artist Jack Armstrong
Jack has written several books and includes countless quotes that will help to create a new universal paradigm in Cosmic X. It’s an honor to share some of these exclusive quotes with our readers.

“The enlightened King understands there is no difference, between themselves & the most humble servant.”

“The mind that sees the future discovers the universe is a reflection of oneself.”

“A great painting reveals the soul of the artist & without great soul what great thing can exist.”

“If there is no magic in the artist, how can there be magic in the art.”

“The artist with the heart of a child & force of the universe in their eyes paints the truth.”

“The sublime individualist lives, in the secret universe we all desire.”

“Love generated in the human heart, is the most powerful thought in the universe.”

“See each of our many lifetimes & appearances start to unravel and your minds eye will reconnect with the universe of your soul, & in the transparency found, you will become the truth you seek.”

————————————————–

In closing, Jack states, “MJ was truly the Man in the Mirror, and my cosmic friend. There will never be another Michael Jackson. So in tribute, I will exhibit the Cosmic Love Glove, & Cosmic Mirage Hat, in this tribute film of MJ & hope everyone can be inspired by his love for the world, thru his music, dance, & powerfully cosmic life.”

“To exhibit the Cosmic X Love Glove exclusively In the MJ Tribute film, is a unique honor for me. 5 million dollars from its sale will be used to create a children’s art wing of the museum I am currently building, allowing children the opportunity to: create, curate, & to exhibit their own art. With funding for art supplies & offering 52 weekly art residencies, for up to 300 children a year.”
– Jack Armstrong

Michael Jackson was an extremely talented entertainer and was taken from this earth way too early. His legacy and achievements will last forever. He has millions of fans all around the world and his music is as popular as ever – enduring MJ as a truly, global pop icon. In fact, even China’s richest man, Jack Ma, is ‘Mirroring Michael Jackson.’

Q1. You are currently involved in a 1 year Digital Retrospective of your work being exhibited on a giant 65 X 40 ft. Screen in the Center of NYC. How does it feel? 
https://www.thelifeofluxury.com/cosmic-x-experience-from-artist-jack-armstrong-comes-to-new-york-city/

A. Amazing. No artist has ever done it before. It’s completely out of the box.  I recently closed a $30 Million dollar painting sale with well-known, Chinese billionaire collector – Jack Ma. He saw the exhibition and fell in love with “Cosmic Firebird” on digital display.

Q2. Thirty million for a private sale direct from the artist is amazing. Have you ever exhibited at Art Basel before & will this new price record perhaps influence you to become more visible in the big art fairs in the future?

A. I have never shown at Art Basel.  I turned down Castelli Gallery in NYC for a solo exhibit when I was 22 years old.

Leo Castelli represented every art legend of the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s.  His gallery was the most successful in the world for contemporary art.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Castelli

Without Mr. Castelli, Warhol, Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Serra, David Salle, Cy Twombly, Frank Stella & countless others would not have become iconic.  Larry Gagosian began as his assistant.

He also sold major works by de Kooning & Kandinsky when few collectors or dealers had interest & virtually re-created a new market for them. He was the only art dealer genius I met that revered the artist & not the money that the artist generated.

Q3. Then why didn’t you decide to show in his gallery?

A. I decided early to create my own singular art style & my own unique branding & rarity & to never use a dealer.

It is a pure way & uncomplicated. I imagine it, create it & by word of mouth it has become successful.  In my experience, dealers treat art as commerce, not something rare & filled with passion. I also wanted no part of something that I could not fully control or believe in totally.

After witnessing many of the dealers in NYC telling artists what to paint & having total control of all marketing, exhibits & licensing, it seemed to me like they were cloning artists while still calling their work original. Yet the dealers called all of the shots, not the artist.

Then it all became only art commerce when Jeff Koons, Damian Hirst & others started warehousing art that was created by armies of underpaid art assistants, who actually created the art, that was then signed & sold as original Koons & Hirst masterpieces.
https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/19/magazine/i-was-jeff-koonss-studio-serf.html

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/art-news/9010657/Damien-Hirst-assistants-make-my-spot-paintings-but-my-heart-is-in-them-all.html

If you desire to be the best, how can you work in a controlled system, where other’s create the rules? They enforce them & the artist is only a pawn in a vast marketing system that runs virtually without their input.

“A masterpiece cannot be created by rules or by  committee.” – J.A.X.

All of it is purely art fraud & why I have remained outside the official art gallery system where dead sharks, balloon dogs & assistant created paintings are revered & worshipped by curators, museums & certain collectors. They all agree to call it original art (of artists who sign it) but did not produce any of this ‘phantom‘ art.

Q4. Why is originality, passion & rarity so important to you?

A. Originality creates passion and passion is the only reason to create or collect art.

Q5. Rarity then drives the price for original work?

A. Yes, this is why a Da Vinci sold recently for almost half a billion dollars & a Jean-Michel Basquiat original painting just sold for $110M.

1982 ‘Untitled’ By Basquiat

https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2017/nov/15/leonardo-da-vinci-salvator-mundi-auction

“There is a very limited supply of truly rare work available in the world of art, so the prices of unique original’s will move upward past the *billion dollar mark for an individual painting in the next 2 to 3 years.” – Jack Armstrong

Q6. How did you decide to create the world’s most expensive automobile?

A. I am currently planning the world’s 1st $100M. Dollar Car, which has never been done before & feels a bit like becoming the 1st person to climb Mt. Everest. After creating the world’s most expensive bicycle, cowboy boots, & motorcycle, The Armstrong-Bugatti: Cosmic-Supercar seemed to me a perfect – next project.

https://trillionairemag.com/jack-armstrongs-6-million-boots/

“On the global art market, rarity & originality is everything & art is the most exclusive luxury product in the world.” -J.A.X.

I would like to be remembered as someone who crafted their own career & left behind in a cosmic sense, a blueprint of magic, to help others find a magical path of their own, in my new book, Cosmic X.
https://www.thelifeofluxury.com/excitement-is-building-for-the-cosmic-x-book-by-jack-armstrong/

Q7. How will your pricing be reflected in the future, now that you have broken the $30M. level in a private sale of your amazing ‘Cosmic Firebird’ painting?

A. Doris Duke purchased a one million dollar painting of mine in 1986.

At the time, Warhol’s paintings sold for $50K to $150K and Basquiat’s were $6K to $20K. It has always been better for me to be talked about in the highest circles by passionate collectors of my work, than to have a dealer convince me to mass produce work without any originality for sales pitches in mega-galleries.

Q9. What was your most interesting exhibit experience & personal art experience & what are your art world regret’s if any?

A. I was invited to exhibit the most amazing art bicycle in the world in Dubai to members of the Royal Family & the International Press, which was cool for a kid that grew up in Omaha. Alice Walton also owns my work & her family is the world’s wealthiest.

I was blessed to have known Warhol & been friends with Michael Jackson & Jean-Michel Basquiat. They were unique in their originality & passion.

Basquiat used to sleep overnight on my couch & I gave Michael art lessons.

There are several films currently in production that will be bios on my art career and I am included in the ‘Mirroring Michael Jackson‘ film, that is being done on the phenomenon of M.J.  Tribute artists continue to celebrate Michael’s genius & magic worldwide today.

My only regret is that M.J. & Basquiat are not still with us.  They had so much more to share with the world & were the rarest individual artists I have ever known.

”People say my work will break the billion dollar mark per piece in the future, but I know that people are priceless & art is something that creates record prices.” -J.A.X.

Q10. Do you believe record breaking  private art sales are the future & will win out over top prices achieved at auction?

A. Private sales were already breaking top auction prices before last year’s da Vinci sale & they will again. People at the highest levels prefer buying without publicity & the manufactured competition that occurs at an auction.

Ken Griffin the Citadel hedge fund guru paid $500M Dollars recently for 2 paintings in a private sale.

Also the Qatar Royal Family purchased a Gauguin at $300M with a Cezanne at $250M dollars.

These reported deals will be the tip of the iceberg in the future.  Many private deals will never appear in the press, benefiting the buyer & seller when privacy & asset security are worth the premium, that modern art masterpieces command.
