Artist Jann Haworth

Jann Haworth was closely associated with the POP Art Movement in Great Britain throughout the 60’s. Her work has featured in a number of recent large-scale exhibitions with the resurgence of interest in this period.

She holds two unusual distinctions: a “female” POP Artist and the Co-Designer for the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band cover, for which she received a Grammy.

Haworth’s recent participation include UK Pop Shows in Modena, Italy (2004), Bilbao, Spain (2005), and the Tate Great Britain’s recent show that coincided with the three-part BBC program of the artists of the 1960’s.  Her recent solo show can be seen at The Mayor Gallery, London, and then at Galerie du Centre, Paris in September, 2008.

Haworth was a contributor to the 337 Project and was project director for SLC Pepper (400 West, SLC).  Future shows include Pop Art UK Angers, France (2008), and  Philadelphia: “Beyond the Surface, Women in Pop Art,” which will tour the United States beginning in spring 2010.
