Jane McAdam Freud (1958–2022) was a celebrated multi-disciplinary artist and thinker, the daughter of Lucian Freud, and Great-granddaughter of Sigmund Freud. Her contribution to contemporary art, sculpture and conceptual thinking has been recognised internationally and her work is included in notable private and public collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, National Gallery archives, the Ashmolean, the Fitzwilliam and Brooklyn Museum. The British Museum acquired an example of her work in 1979, whilst Jane was still a student at Central School of Art and Design. In 1986, Jane was awarded the British Art Medal Scholarship in Rome, studying sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma and at the Scuola d’Arte della Medaglia. Jane passed on her skills and innovative ideas as a visiting lecturer at Central St. Martins (UAL) and Morley College.
