ONE WOMAN SHOW - CHRISTINE COULSON GEBUNDEN

MARIE CLAIRE BEST BOOKS OF 2023'Funny  clever and unexpectedly profound - I couldn't put it
down' Helena Attlee 'It is remarkable how much information she can convey about Kitty's life .
. . solely using wall labels' Independent Prized  collected  critiqued. One Woman Show revolves
around the life of Kitty Whitaker as she is defined by her potential for display and moved from
collection to collection through multiple marriages. Christine Coulson  who has written
hundreds of exhibition wall labels for the Metropolitan Museum of Art  precisely distils each
stage of Kitty's sprawling life into that distinct format  every brief snapshot in time a wry
reflection on womanhood  ownership  value and power. Described with wit  poignancy and humour
over the course of the twentieth century  Kitty emerges as an eccentric heroine who disrupts
her privileged  porcelain life with both major force and minor transgressions. As human foibles
propel each delicately crafted text  Coulson playfully asks: who really gets to tell our
stories? 'Heartbreaking and funny . . . truly masterful and patient and insane  in the best
way' Leanne Shapton 'Wry  humorous  poignant' Spectator
