BIOGRAPHY:
After attending high school, he was sent for an apprenticeship to a master painter. At the age of 18, he chose the career of mail clerk at the post office of Lutzel. After hours, he drew and painted motifs of his hometown of Koblenz, applying his self-taught skills and knowledge. After the "assistant's exam" in 1887 and voluntary military service for the term of one year, he was transferred to a pioneer battalion for a short time in Hamburg. Antoine went to Berlin in 1891 and studied at the Berlin Academy of Arts (Akademie der Kunste) under Franz Skarbina. He became a member of the Association of Berlin Artists and participated regularly in the major art exhibitions in Berlin. In 1942, he was bombed-out in Berlin and spent a short time in Silesia.Immediately after moving from Koblenz to Berlin in 1891, Antoine contacted local artists in Berlin. He studied part-time at the Academy of Fine Arts (Hochschule fur Bildende Kunste) and attended courses in landscape and nude painting. In Professor Franz Skarbina (1849-1910), he found an artist who recognized his talent and encouraged and taught him what he, the self-taught artist, had yet to learn. Initially, Antoine mainly painted landscapes and mostly used watercolors. After his training under Skarbina, he preferred oil paint for larger images, because it was more expressive, and mostly painted city-themed motifs. He created many oil, pastel, and watercolor paintings as well as etchings of motifs of Berlin. Horse-drawn carriages on rain-soaked roads, the hustle and bustle on Leipziger Strasse or passers-by at the Brandenburg Gate - these are impressions the artist captured in their randomness and instantaneousness. The Cathedral, The Castle and Bridge (Kaiser-Friedrich-Bridge), Unter den Linden, Brandenburg Gate, Leipziger Platz, with the Wertheim Department Store, Potsdamer Platz, Alexanderplatz with Berolina and Police Headquarters, Reichstag, Tiergarten, Kurfurstendamm, Kaiser-Wilhelm Memorial Church and Tauentzienstrasse, as well as the City Hall and Altes Museum are naturally included in the list of his paintings of Berlin. It is the representative Berlin; the Berlin of monumental buildings. All paintings are atmospheric and were completed using a virtuous impressionistic technique. The hues of the era and its transformations are easily perceptible by looking at the means of transportation, hackney coaches, the electrical and open top buses as well as the clothing of the pedestrians. Otto Antoine was a member of the Association of Berlin Artists, which was founded in 1841. Later, he represented his fellow artists as a member of the association's board and was repeatedly involved in the setting up of the Greater Berlin Art Exhibition. Eventually, he became an honorary member and honorary president of the association. Fortunately, a large amount of his work had been preserved. However, a complete overview of the locations of Antoine's works does not currently exist. At best, the following information may be a reference point. A large number of his works is currently kept by the family and other private collectors.

Terms and Conditions

TERMS & CONDITIONS
Any of the following conditions of sale may be amended, waived, or modified in the sole discretion of Broward Auction Gallery. By placing a bid, whether present in the saleroom or by any other means, the buyer (bidder, purchaser) agrees to be bound by the following conditions of sale:

1) All property is sold in "as is" condition and all sales are final. Neither Broward Auction Gallery nor their consignor(s) makes any representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect to the property or the correctness of the catalogue or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, age, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibitions, literature or historical relevance of the property or otherwise. The Auctioneer and the Consignor assume no risk, liability or responsibility for the authenticity or the authorship of any property identified in the online catalogue (that is, the identity of the creator or the period, culture, source or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of any property is identified herein).
If any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose can be construed from the catalogue, auction, or bill of sale, such warranties are disclaimed by the Auctioneer and the Consignor. No statement in the online catalogue or made at the sale or in the Bill of Sale or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an admission of liability. Moreover, the Auctioneer will not be held responsible for any variations in appearance of online photographs.
ANTIQUES: Additionally, antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be noted in the description.
Broward Auction Gallery shall not be responsible for obtaining any permits or licenses on behalf of purchaser and no sale shall be cancelled or refunded for lack of purchaser's noncompliance with permitting and licensing issues.

2) Notwithstanding the preceding condition, if within 14 days of the sale of any lot the purchaser of any painting gives notice in writing to the Auctioneer that the lot so sold is a counterfeit and, if within 7 days after such notice the purchaser returns to the Auctioneer in the same condition as when sold, and gives written proof from a recognized impartial expert which establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the returned lot is in fact a counterfeit and that this was not indicated by a fair reading of the catalogue or the Auctioneer's comments at the time of sale, the Auctioneer as agent for the Consignor will rescind the sale and refund the purchase price.

3) The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid and shall advance the bid at his/her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has absolute discretion to determine the successful buyer or to re-sell the disputed lot. If a dispute arises after the sale, Broward Auction Gallery record of the successful buyer and final sale price shall be conclusive.

In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where the Company or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to the Company, the Company may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds there from other than the broker's Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. No "buy" bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose.

5) Some lots offered for sale may be subject to a reserve, which is a confidential minimum price below which a lot will not be sold. Under no circumstance will a reserve exceed the low estimate of the lot being offered. Consignors are prohibited from bidding on their own property, however, the auctioneer may implement reserves by bidding on behalf of the consignor. If bids on a lot fail to reach the reserve, the lot will be "passed" or "bought-in".
