Album Cover Hall of Fame's interview with artist Jann Haworth

Posted December 7th, 2020 by Mike Goldstein, AlbumCoverHallofFame.com

As I’ve shared in recent updates, I’ve been working on an interview with one of the people responsible for what is considered one of the best (if not THE best, depending on the survey) album covers of the rock music era, that being Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles. Artist/designer/sculptor Jann Haworth, working with her then-husband Peter Blake, photographer Michael Cooper and a small team of other artists and assistants, created the huge, life-sized collage which served as the basis for the cover – one that would go on to inspire an ever-expanding series of homages/parodies and, more recently, some works of public art done by Ms. Haworth and a slew of contributing artists (that can be seen in Salt Lake City, UT) to honor ”heroes and heroines of the 21st Century”. 

Today, I’m happy to report that the interview article has been posted and is available for your immediate (or conveniently-scheduled) reading pleasure. Jann was a pleasure to interview and I’m honored to be able to share her thoughts, insights and memories of her career as an influential figure in the Pop Art world, so please share this with your friends, loved ones, neighbors and anyone else you think might enjoy the read.

Thanks for your patience and again to Jann H for her help putting this all together.
