Ib Antoni lived a short and intense life. In the late 1950s, only 27 years of age, he sat behind the desk in one of the greatest advertising agencies on Madison Avenue in New York, and just a few years later he became one of the world's most coveted advertising designers in the crowd today known as the "Mad Men" of the advertising industry.
In Denmark Ib Antoni was called the ”national illustrator of Denmark”, because his posters with The Little Mermaid, Tivoli, and Copenhagen were - and still are - a part of creating the narrative of the native country and the national brand, that attracts visitors from all over the world. A narrative of great and clean-cut designs and the love of fairytales taken straight out of H. C. Andersen's adventure.
