An extract from Antoine Verglas interview "... I was born and raised in Paris. When I was studying at business school, I met a young girl who was the face of the ‘80s at the time and we started dating. Her name was Catherine Ahnell and she was a model with Ford. I was also occasionally working as a model, doing TV commercials, and ended up hosting a TV show called Cinq sur Cinq [Five on Five] for teenagers, presenting video clips and movie trailers and interviewing celebrities. I had Sharon Stone on, before her Basic Instinct days. I did that for almost a year. I kind of liked TV, but I really liked the fashion world, so I started to take pictures of my girlfriend. She had to move to New York so I followed her there. I wanted to do a reportage on the top models of New York, with interviews that touched on their hobbies, beauty tips, astrological signs, and candid pictures of them in their bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchens. The Elite agency helped me a lot, along with a famous French model named Estelle LeFébure... "

Studying economics and marketing at college in Stockholm, Catherine Ahnell often found herself next to a pile of art books when at the library. Little did she know how it would all come together. As the winner of Eileen FORD’s Super Model Of The Year, Swedish born Catherine left for Paris after her studies to pursue an international career as a fashion model. Her success brought her to New York where she discovered her new talent as a Real Estate developer. 
As an avid collector of contemporary art, Catherine realized the possibility of fusing her expertise and passion. She bought a space in the heart of Soho, New York, which became the CATHERINE AHNELL GALLERY Freerunning Art Corp.
