Ultimate “Cosmic X” Art Synergy – Jack Armstrong & Jaime Carbo Collaboration

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.

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:

Faros-Revolucion - Jaime Carbo Jack Armstrong.jpg

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/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

Cosmic Girl Love painting- by modern artists Jaime Carbo & Jack Armstrong.jpg2. 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.

Art & Museum Magazine

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!

Keep Your New Year’s Resolution – 10 Tips for 2020

Happy New Year to everybody! Have you made your New Year’s resolution? Chances are at some time in your life, you’ve made a New Year’s resolution — and then broken it.

This year, stop the cycle of resolving to make change and then not following through. If your resolution is to take better care of yourself and get healthy, you will have a much better year if your resolution sticks. Here are ten tips to help you get started.

Top 10 Tips to Meet Your New Year’s Resolution.

1. BE REALISTIC
The surest way to fall short of your goal is to make your goal unattainable. For instance, resolving to NEVER eat your favorite food again is setting you up to fail. Instead, strive for a goal that is attainable. Also, try avoiding it more often than you do now.

2. PLAN AHEAD
Don’t make your resolution on New Year’s Eve. If you wait until the last minute, it will be based on your mindset that particular day. Instead, it should be planned well before December 31st arrives.

3. OUTLINE YOUR PLAN
Decide how you will deal with the temptation to skip that exercise class or have that piece of cake. This could include calling on a friend for help. In addition, try practicing positive thinking and self-talk. Plus, remind yourself how your “bad behavior” will affect your goal.

4. MAKE A “PROS” AND “CONS” LIST
It may help to see a list of items on paper to keep your motivation strong. Develop this list over time. Be sure to ask others to contribute to it. Keep your list with you. Lastly, refer to it when you need help keeping your resolve.

5. TALK ABOUT IT
Don’t keep your resolution a secret. Tell friends and family members. They will be there to support your resolve to change yourself for the better or improve your health. For example, the best-case scenario is to find a buddy who shares your New Year’s resolution and motivate each other.

6. REWARD YOURSELF
This doesn’t mean that you can eat an entire box of chocolates if your resolution is to eat a better diet. Instead, celebrate your success by treating yourself to something you enjoy that doesn’t contradict your resolution. If you have been sticking to your promise to eat better. For example, reward yourself with new fitness clothing or by going to a movie with a friend.

7. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
Keep track of each small success. Short-term goals are easier to keep. Plus, each small accomplishment will help keep you motivated. Instead of focusing on losing 30 pounds, focus on losing the first five. Keep a food journal to help you stay on track. Finally, reward yourself for each five pounds lost.

8. DON’T BEAT YOURSELF UP
Obsessing over the occasional slip won’t help you achieve your goal. Do the best you can each day. Be sure to take one day at a time.

9. STICK TO IT
Experts say it takes about 21 days for a new activity to become a habit. Then, it takes six months for it to become part of your personality. It won’t happen overnight. Therefore, be persistent and patient!

10. KEEP TRYING
If you have totally run out of steam when it comes to keeping your resolution by mid-February, don’t despair. Start over again! Recommit yourself for 24 hours. For example, you can do anything for 24 hours. The 24-hour increments will soon build on each other. Lastly, before you know it, you will be back on track.

The Life of Luxury can help you make your dreams and New Year’s resolution come true! Want to attend a red carpet award show? How about a Hollywood movie premier or top fashion show? It’s all possible. Your New Year’s resolution is closer than ever from being fulfilled! Contact us today.

“Docked at Hard Rock” in Lake Tahoe, Featuring the Art Car “Christina”

The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe was the only place to be over the weekend. “Docked at Hard Rock” took place both Friday and Saturday nights and featured the amazing “Art Car” Christina.

Event guests at the Docked at Hard Rock celebration on Friday, Nov. 1, were treated to nationally acclaimed DJ Justin Martin. Based in San Francisco, the DJ/producer first entered the electronic music scene in 2003. He helped develop Dirtybird Records, during a time he also booked various international festivals.

On Saturday, Nov. 2, Zach Sciacca thrilled the large crowd. He’s better known as DJ Z-Trip. The DJ/producer is from Phoenix, Arizona. Like Justine Martin, he performed atop the Christina art car. Z-Trip was awarded “America’s Best DJ” in 2009. He is still as popular today and a pioneer of the mashup movement. In addition, LL Cool J, Public Enemy and Dan the Automator are a few of the respected artists Z-Trip has worked with.

The exclusive “Docked at Hard Rock” event became a huge pool-side party, featuring the fun vibe of live music, art, plus several charity functions. The appearance of Christina was the yacht’s first venture on private property for the public.

In addition to the acclaimed DJs, the crowd was treated to fire spinners, Psychedelic Sailors dancing atop the boat, Boots ‘n Cats Gogos, a 104-degree giant hot tub, plus special guests. The party kicked off both nights at 6 p.m. Later that night, the party moved indoors to the Vinyl Nightclub and Center Bar.

Jordan Laub is the event promoter and owner of VELUFUR and was quoted, “Christina’s unique story sets the tone and provided the theme to commemorate an authentic local institution in a meaningful way. Reflecting Lake Tahoe’s status as an environmental leader and Hard Rock’s corporate principles to that end, we’ll also be raising funds for organizations including The Tahoe Fund and Artech dedicated to promoting sustainability and cultural enhancement.”

Christina is a 65-foot long and 35,000 pound yacht. For years, it could be seen traveling across world famous Lake Tahoe. For those who have attended Burning Man, you will remember seeing the Christina art car traversing the Playa for almost a decade. Christina was designated “Queen of Black Rock” on three occasions. She held up to 140 passengers each trip around the Nevada desert floor.

Flipper “Flipper” Manchester is a South Lake Tahoe construction company owner and the current owner of the art car Christina. The yacht was dry-docked at the historic Tahoe Keys Marina and Flipper has hired to demolish it. But he had an innovative idea to save it and convert the yacht to an art car. The boat’s massive hull was painted with the turquoise waves of Lake Tahoe. For years, it was a popular attraction on the Black Rock Desert Playa in northwest Nevada.

Christina art car yacht - Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe

To make its grand appearance at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe was no simple feat. In mid October, Christina was trucked along a route from Gerlach along State Route 447 to Interstate 80, onto US-395 to US-50. The route was chosen to fit under overpasses and stay away from more congested routes. Finally, once the Art Car” Christina arrived in South Lake Tahoe, she was reassembled.

Party guests could also rent comfortable daybeds, cabanas and reserved tables. Plus, bottle service was also available to purchase.

Charles Manchester was asked by Lake Tahoe Action magazine:
How did the “Christening of Christina” and “Docked at the Hard Rock” celebration come about?
“Executives of the Hard Rock who’ve attended Burning Man and heard her story approached me with the concept to bring her home. They saw the Christina as a vehicle to continue what goes on in the Playa for Burners throughout Northern California, Nevada and beyond”

He continued, “They recognized that it’s more than a party – how it moves people, and determined a way to have a good time, promote art and benefit local non-profits. The entire concept resonated with me. Everybody who knows her and local burners from Tahoe/Reno are all going to be there. I’m excited that the boat will be here and am looking forward to hanging out with my friends and having fun.”

Then Charles was asked, What is the future hold for the Christina?
“I planned to take her back down to Burning Man, and she might be going to other events like Coachella Valley and Las Vegas Electric Daisy. I have some folks in Seattle asking me to bring her up there to keep the vibe alive. From a transport standpoint, we’re installing metal plates enabling us to pull her apart and reassemble fast. Making it tear-down and reassemble is fast for transport. And yes, I’d do it all again.”

Be sure to check out the many upcoming events at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe. The Life of Luxury offers VIP access to over 50,000 events around the world. It’s time you make your dreams come true with a VIP experience! Please contact us today.

In the 21st Century, Jack Armstrong Remains in a Singular Paradigm of his Own Unique Creation

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.

Jack Armstrong Completes “Steve McQueen Le Mans” Replacement Painting – $110M

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 TimesIconic $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.

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.

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.

$10M Michael Jackson “Love Glove” & $7M “Mirage Hat” 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.

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.

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.”

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.’

Iconic artist Jack Armstrong is the leader of the Cosmic Extensionalism (Cosmic-X) art movement. The Life of Luxury is proud to have published multiple articles about Jack’s incredible art portfolio.

He holds the world record for creating the world’s most expensive bike, boots (Cosmic Cowboy Boots) and motorcycle (Cosmic Harley). Jack Armstrong has now set his sights on another world record – the world’s most expensive car. The custom painted, $100 million Cosmic-Supercar!

His amazing paintings have been sold to the rich and famous all around the world, including Sir Paul McCartney, the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson and Alice Walton (Walmart family heiress).  It is with great honor, that we have the opportunity to share an in-depth interview with the famous Cosmic artist – Jack Armstrong.

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


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.

“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.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doris_Duke

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.

I chose a different path.” – J.A.X.

Q8. How much is the Cosmic Harley-Davidson you created currently priced at?

A. I have recently heard that my Cosmic-Starcruiser-Motorcycle, is now being offered at $35M for sale, from the family who purchased it in 2012.

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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walton_family

https://www.thenational.ae/business/world-s-most-expensive-art-bicycle-rolls-into-dubai-at-big-boys-toys-1.449899

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.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9117324/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7643430/

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.
https://news.artnet.com/market/ken-griffin-drops-500-million-two-paintings-430379

Also the Qatar Royal Family purchased a Gauguin at $300M with a Cezanne at $250M dollars.
https://www.france24.com/en/20150207-gauguin-painting-sells-for-record-300m-doha-qatar

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.

Jack Armstrong “Cosmic X” Art – The Next Big Investment Opportunity

Art has long been desired for its beauty. Art appeals to each person in a different, personal level. Some art lovers only like the works of a single artist. While others don’t care who created it. It’s one of the facts that makes the wonderful world of art so special.

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

But Jack Armstrong is not done yet. He has set his sights on creating the most expensive car – the Armstrong-Bugatti-Cosmic X Art-Car. We reported in July 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.

The value of art continues to skyrocket. It has clearly become a sector not just for art collectors, but also investors. According to The Art Market 2018 report, Art Basel and UBS state that in 2017, the “Global art market reaches USD 63.7 billion.” The report states 2017 experienced a 12% increase in sales over the prior year. In addition, China surpassed the UK as the world’s second largest art market, behind only the U.S. The top three countries clearly dominate the art industry. The U.S., China, and the UK represented a whopping 83% of total sales by value.

While art galleries so modest year-over-year growth rate of just 4%, online sales are booming! A new record high was established in 2017 with USD $5.4 billion in sales. That value represents 8% of the global art market by value.

By using third party online platforms, consumers and investors can purchase direct from their favorite artist or from anywhere in the world. As a result, both art galleries and auction houses have seen their online sales volume increase. For example, it was reported that in 2017, 45% of online gallery buyers were new to their business.

What is undeniable, is art sells and it can sell for big money. The price appreciation for many pieces of art can be quite staggering.

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.

The world record at an auction is Leonardo Da Vinci’sSalvator Mundi” painting. It sold for an astonishing $450 Million in 2017. Read more here:
https://www.france24.com/en/20171116-leonardo-da-vinci-painting-salvator-mundi-sells-record-450m-auction-new-york

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/entertainment-arts-42006584/leonardo-da-vinci-artwork-sells-for-record-450m

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

What is so appealing about the creative works of Cosmic artist Jack Armstrong, is the limited number of his paintings. There are only 100 paintings in existence. Each acrylic on canvas painting is multi-layered but also includes his personal touch. You can find his hand prints, finger prints, plus DNA in each painting.

Jack also knew and worked with Andy Warhol. In 2001, he painted “Warhol Naked.” This incredible piece of art is a touching tribute to his friend Andy. Jack has stated that one the proudest moments in his life was being dubbed “the last wizard of art” by Warhol himself.

“Warhol Naked” – Now Offered at $110 Million

But the largest and most complex painting Jack Armstrong ever painted is titled “The Last Wizard.” The colorful painting is 6 feet by 4 feet in size. It’s his largest painting, but also showcases his complete mastery of the Cosmic X art form. The very one he personally founded.”

Jack Armstrong states, “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.”

Armstrong continues, “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.”

Armstrong feels that world famous Time Square in New York City, is the perfect city ‘museum’ to exhibit his “Cosmic X” art.  NYC is well known for graffiti painting on the street, in addition to the giant, digital screens and billboards in Times Square.  What an ideal canvas for Jack Armstrong to share his contemporary art with the world!

In total, there are 13 different Armstrong art videos running on the big screen above Ripley’s Times Square Museum.  The Cosmic X videos will appear and rotate every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day.  Each 30 second video showcases the tremendous talent of international artist Jack Armstrong, including his Cosmic Starship Harley motorcycle, Cosmic Bicycle and Cosmic Cowboy Boots.  This iconic 2 year “Digital Art Exhibition” ran from 2018 to 2020.

Early in Jack’s art career, he became friends and collaborated with three legends of the art world – Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. The bond they enjoyed together lasts to this day. In fact, take a look at the below video feature both Jack and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

One of the proudest moments in Jack Armstrong’s life was when Andy Warhol named him “THE LAST WIZARD” of art. The label has now become the title of the upcoming movie about Jack’s life.

Jack was quoted, “To be in Times Square with my Cosmic ‘X’ (Digital Art Retrospective) for a 2 year period is a great honor.  I began graffiti painting with Jean Michel Basquiat in 1979 and we both dreamed of having our art seen high up on the huge digital screens that lit up the night.”

Last month, we were extremely proud to have been provided exclusive access to Armstrong’s upcoming book – Cosmic X. From cover to cover, it’s a cosmic journey like no other. Discover the fascinating life experiences and philosophic realization of this iconic artist. The book will be available in January 2019. Here is a preview of the stunning cover.

“Cosmic X” will actually be the first book of the Cosmic X trilogy. Jack just finished writing the third book, which will be titled “The Bliss Code-X.” The second book is named “The Code-X.”

We would also like to share several quotes from Jack’s “Cosmic X” upcoming book:

“Humans are easily convinced to question our own destiny,
when true destiny is found in the re-creation of ourselves in time.”

“We co-exist in the energy of stars & in their light,
find doors in the universe – open to the code we create.”

“When the universe that exists in the mind is recreated in code it becomes love.”

“Love is in the code you breathe. The code is inside all ✴ we enlighten to receive it.”

“If we knew the origins of the universe were encoded in the DNA of the mind,
we could more easily balance our connection in its core energy of love.”

“We hold the energy of life too tightly when energy is like breath, it must be created & released,
to flow & return so that we may experience a universal *transcendence that is beyond anything we are taught.”

Armstrong continues “Art dealer Leo Castelli (who once offered Armstrong a solo gallery exhibit) would be happy to see my work lighting up Times Square at night. He really believed in me.”

Here are several of the cool-electronic, graffiti videos running above Ripley’s Times Square Museum:

Excitement is Building for the “Cosmic X” Book by Jack Armstrong

There is an exciting buzz in the air. The new book titled Cosmic X from artist Jack Armstrong is nearing its highly anticipated launch. Scheduled for January 2019, Cosmic X (bookcover photo above) will be a fascinating journey of the incredible life experiences and philosophic realization of the iconic artist – Jack Armstrong.

Jack has been painting since an early age and says, “All natural talent is inborn & appreciation is important, which gives you an innate sense of wonderment, which is something all children have. It is the greatest gift, if you can keep it alive as an adult.”

Early in his art career, Armstrong was a model in NYC. During this period, he became friends and collaborated with three legends of the art world – Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring.

Armstrong, who was named the “LAST WIZARD” by Warhol, says “It’s a cosmic experience when you are young, to be accepted by people like Elizabeth Taylor, & Andy Warhol, who were both so kind to me.”

“Andy loved what I did.” Armstrong continues, “He always told me, to follow no one.”

He said, “If you listen to somebody else, you’ll never discover yourself.”

The Life of Luxury is proud to have been provided exclusive access to some of the quotes to be included in the upcoming book – Cosmic X.  It’s like nothing else published in art or philosophy before.

Below are just a few quotes from the book, that will help to create a new universal paradigm in Cosmic X.  We hope you enjoy them and find the Armstrong collection inspirational, in multi-dimensional levels, of cosmic realization.

“History is a only a textbook, for what works & what doesn’t.”

“Fame or non-fame, have nothing to do, with the level of talent, or genius, in question.”

“Why have levels of fame become more important than levels of talent, genius, & love?”

“What we live for, becomes our enlightenment.”

“Each breath is enlightenment, centered in love.”

“We constantly tell people what we do & who we are, but not why, we exist, or how, we will exist in the future.”

“In a cosmic sense being trained from childhood, to seek the approval of others has kept the human species, unnaturally controlled, so we remain unfamiliar, with our natural abilities.”

“In Cosmic X, the creation of love, connects everything it touches, with the energy of the stars.”

“Creating light where there was darkness, In endless magic, that will come.”

“To understand the universe, discover universal love.”

“When you live cosmically, you become part of a natural universal code.”

“No one can stop our bliss, our love, our creation – we are code – replicating ourselves in the stars.”

“We are code running thru the universe, & retuning again in code.”

“We create & re-create – all code – that will come.”

“Once you understand you are code, everything is possible.”

“How can you understand something that doesn’t exist, until you become the code.”

“The code is more infinite than the stars.”

“The code creates the stars.”

‘Cosmic X is Immortality in code.”

“Love Creates Infinity & Immortality.”

“Create zen with love, in cosmic ‘X’ as the world attempts to create order thru chaos.”

“Serve all, love all, become the code.”

“Discover oneness in yourself, & in the code.”

“You will become, everything you seek.”
