George Costakis spent three decades hunting down, and saving, thousands of Russian and Soviet avant-garde works of art-at a time when they were hidden, vilified by the state and at risk of disappearing into history.

These women artists were in museum collections, but they were barely shown. The challenge was to do enough research to find common themes and bring them together.

"Games have long brought people together across cultures and centuries, creating shared experiences that connect us beyond borders, languages, and differences. Whether played on boards, performed through physical skill, explored via the spoken or written word, or navigated in digital worlds, games carry educational, symbolic, and social roles that shape how we learn, connect, and make meaning through play."

We are delighted to unite these incredible archaeological finds from across the North for our latest exhibition. From Roman silver discovered along Hadrian's Wall to 9th-century gold found by a Newcastle University student, this is a rare opportunity to see these scattered treasures displayed alongside one another.

Bassman's photographs, in fact, looked more like illustrations. She achieved this effect through darkroom experimentation and manipulation: donning a cardboard mask with a pinhole aperture, she selectively exposed portions of the paper to light, tracing the contours of the garments until they seemed to dissolve into atmosphere.

The central nave of Sant'Agostino becomes the spine of the exhibition, as the designer divides the space using white, geometric volumes through freestanding architectural forms that visitors can move through.

The first-ever exhibition devoted to the seascapes of French painter Georges Seurat brings together the largest group of these works ever assembled, 26 in total, offering a detailed look at a significant part of Seurat's work.

The paint effect was camouflage using mimicry and disruptive patterns to confuse enemy pilots. It's one image in an exhibition of around 45 paintings and posters, plus some letters and documents recording life in wartime London.

We want to make this the most comprehensive historical survey of Chinese art in the first quarter of the 21st century. That was the first exhibition to introduce Chinese experimental art to the international art world, right after the end of the Cold War.

"Art became his antidote to pressure and frustration. An item like this brings us closer to those quiet creative moments away from the world."

The sheet is modest in size but immense in significance. Carefully inked across the page are the opening 20 bars of a fugue - not Mozart's own invention, but his transcription of a harpsichord work by George Frideric Handel, composed more than sixty years earlier. Mozart was 26 when he set to work on it in 1782-83, transforming Handel's keyboard fugue into the beginnings of a string quartet arrangement.

Does a gorilla playing the drums along to Phil Collins mean anything to you? What about surfers that turn into horses as they're riding the waves? Or a fisherman boxing with a bear over some salmon? Those are just a few of the most iconic adverts to have graced our TV screens over the last five decades. And soon, you'll be able to see them on a humungous scale.

Six months before his momentous first trip to the United States, Joan Miró sent a letter to his New York City gallerist, Pierre Matisse. Writing from repressive Francoist Spain in the austere aftermath of the Second World War, the Catalan artist was searching for new frontiers. "In the future world, America, with its energy and vitality, must play a leading role," he told Matisse." I have to be in New York to be in direct, personal contact with your country; my work will benefit from that shock."

Modern Art is pleased to present Polygrapher, the first solo exhibition by Joseph Yaeger since announcing his representation by the gallery, and the inaugural exhibition at their Bennet Street gallery. Polygrapher denotes both the exhibition title and a text written by the artist, published in the exhibition's accompanying booklet. Taking the form of an interrogation the artist underwent attached to a Stoelting UltraScribe--and in which only the answers have been transcribed--it creates a framework for the experience of the subsequent paintings.

A selection of recent paintings by Sri Lankan-American artist Shyama Golden. Born in Texas, Golden's work utilizes world-building and narrative to reveal the constructed nature of identity. The series, "Too Bad, So Sad, Maybe Next Birth," exhibited at PM/AM gallery in London earlier this year. The paintings follow the idea of past lives and deaths as Golden charts her own over the past 200 years.

John Nixon, the late Australian avant-garde artist, would sometimes save the shells from his boiled eggs and sprinkle them across blank paint, creating his own starry night. Other times he'd set himself rules, such as painting only in orange for five years. It was 1996 and he was becoming a father, so he wanted a streamlined practice plus, what other artist was associated with orange?

The term reflects her unique method of applying spray paint, bringing depth, complexity, and a painterly sensibility to her work. This exhibition presents 21 new spray paintings based on the theme "See-Through," delicately depicting moments where humor and introspection intersect through the coalescence of everyday objects and surreal scenes. The word "See-Through" harbors a mysterious meaning that serves to stimulate Stickymonger's imagination.
