Rediscovering Art by Women (RAW) is a registered UK charity that champions women and queer artists past and present, working to correct centuries of exclusion and ensure their work is recognised, valued and celebrated.
At its heart is the growing RAW Collection, which showcases works by 20th-century women artists, built over 30 years by founder Sacha Llewellyn (winner of the Berger Art History Prize, 2017). With a strong focus on Surrealism, the collection includes artists such as Ithell Colquhoun, Jane Graverol, Winifred Knights, Françoise Gilot, Marion Adnams, Suzanne Van Damme and Rachel Baes.
The RAW Collection is internationally recognised, with loans to Tate Modern and Tate St. Ives, Centre Pompidou, Musée de Montmartre, Royal Museums of Belgium, Fundación MAPFRE, Kunstmuseum Brandts, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Dulwich Picture Gallery, Wolfsonian Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Toledo Museum of Art, and many more.
Beyond the collection, RAW leads acclaimed research projects, contributes to major publications and exhibitions, and collaborates with museums and galleries worldwide to bring women and queer artists into the spotlight.
