Claudia Gurisatti, Journalist, Radio Director
Born to a father of Italian descent and a Colombian mother, Claudia Gurisatti studied communication at the University Javeriana of Bogota. She soon became involved in journalism through working with various newspapers and then with the RCN radio station. Claudia Gurisatti currently heads two of the country?s most important political broadcasts, the T V program ?La Noche? as well as ?La FM? radio program on RCN Radio. Passionately dedicated to her work and to the quest for truth, she is one of the rare Colombian journalists to have denounced corruption, the cruelty of the Colombian conflict and the brutality of the armed outlaw factions. Repeatedly threatened with death, she has had to leave the country several times. Resisting the threats and refusing to be discouraged, she even produced and directed her programme ?La Noche? from Miami for several months in 2001, before returning to Colombia.

Olga Lucia Jordan, Photographer
Olga Lucia Jordan studied painting at the National University in Bogota and pursued her artistic training in Paris. Now a professional photographer, she continues to take a strong interest in the art world. She is indeed known as ?the artists? photographer?. She has focused her lens on over 250 painters and sculptors from Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela and France, including Maestro Fernando Botero, Alejandro Obregon, Omar Rayo and Luis Cabellero. Through books, magazine covers and exhibitions, Olga Lucia Jordan?s work has earned international acclaim. One of her most well known exhibitions, ?Colombia under the feminine view? travelled across Latin America, in Europe as well as several cities in the Russian Federation. This year, Barcelona and Lisbon are to welcome her latest exhibition entitled ?From the window?. Not particularly drawn to technological effects, she generally opts for simplicity and prefers working in natural light.

The lot consists of 2 photographs and a TAG Heuer ladies? watch issued in a limited numbered edition, signed by Uma Thurman and by UNIFEM.
