Recognizing the value of their respective collections, archives and libraries - including the Costakis collection and archive, the J.E. Bowlt & N. Misler Library and the Khardzhiev archives and art collection at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam - the two institutions have established a joint platform that supports emerging and established researchers, fosters international collaboration and enhances public understanding of Avant-Garde movements in the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and broader modernist contexts.
