Ca. 1995. Great Britain. Chameleon / DECORATION OF THE RIM. By Jane McAdam Freud. Cast bronze with green patina 99mm x 98mm. $150. Sorry, SOLD

“Our streets abound with objects which have undergone processes of deformation that emulate the process of striking a medal. In this respect, they suggest themselves from the gutter, reemerging as medallic forms and images. As a discarded object accumulates the marks of deformation, a transition occurs. Stripped of its utility, like a medal it stands as an aesthetically valid object in its own right but again like a medal, it equally serves as a memorial to the past.”

Jane McAdam Freud was born in London on February 28, 1958. She was the daughter of artist Lucien Freud and great-granddaughter of Sigmund Freud. She is noted for her conceptual sculpture. She held her first solo show, aged 18, under the curatorship of her teachers at Putney Art School. She also studied at the Wimbledon College of Art, the Central School of Art and Design and the Royal College of Art. Additionally, she spent some time studying mosaics in Ravenna. In 1986 she won the British Art Medal Scholarship in Rome where she studied sculpture at the Academia de Belle Arti de Roma and at the Scuola d’Arte della Medaglia in Rome. McAdam Freud held several exhibitions of her medallic works, which are represented in museums in the United Kingdom, United States, Greece and Germany. She died on August 9, 2022.
