Jane McAdam Freud
Born 24 February 1958

Jane McAdam Freud, daughter of Katherine Margaret McAdam and Lucian Freud, was born on 24 February 1958 in London, England. She is the great-grand daughter of Sigmund Freud. McAdam Freud is an artist working with prints and drawing, sculpture and installation, and digital media. Her works are represented in both national and international public collections including the British Museum, the National Gallery, London, the Ashmolean Museum and the Fitzwilliam Museum. International collections include the Zendai Museum of Modern Art (China), the Brooklyn Museum (NY, USA), the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh (USA), the Greek National Gallery, and the Berlin State Museums.

McAdam Freud began her career with a solo show at age 18, curated by her art teacher Robin Gale.[1]

She studied at Wimbledon College of Art,[citation needed] at the Central School of Art and Design and at the Royal College of Art.[2]

In 1986 she won the British Art Medal Scholarship in Rome where she studied sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma.[3] McAdam Freud is an associate lecturer at Central Saint Martins and teaches short courses at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp and in the Sculpture School at Morley College.

McAdam Freud is a Fellow of the Royal British Society of Sculptors. In 1991 she was awarded the Italian State Mint[citation needed] prize and granted Freedom of the City of London. She has published two catalogues; On the Edge 1996, Relative Relations 2006 and numerous papers on Art and Psychoanalysis.

McAdam Freud's short film 'Dead or Alive' refers to Freud’s concept of Condensation. The pairings morph into each other through the merging back and forth of Freud’s antiquities with her sculpture, from past to present ‘virtually’ closing the gap of time. Great similarities can be found in the forms and motifs of the pairs. At a midway point the two objects merge and form a third image of a ‘virtual’ object. Her preference for this work was to locate it within reach of a psychoanalytically aware audience and it was screened at the following venues:
