May Pang


About the Artist


Few people knew John Lennon as intimately as May Pang. Pang was Lennon's companion and lover during the infamous “Lost Weekend,” which lasted 18 months during late 1973 through 1975. During this highly creative time for Lennon, Pang took candid photos of Lennon in a comfortable, relaxed environment.

Pang was far more than Lennon's romantic partner, she was a key figure in his personal and creative renaissance. During this period, Lennon experienced one of the most artistically and commercially productive phases of his post-Beatles career. With Pang’s encouragement and support, he produced the albums Mind Games, Walls and Bridges (which included his only #1 Hit Single, Whatever Gets You Thru the Night) and Rock 'n' Roll.

In 1983, Pang published Loving John, a candid memoir detailing her relationship with Lennon and her behind-the-scenes role in his life and work. In 2008, she released Instamatic Karma, a collection of intimate photographs of Lennon during the Lost Weekend.
