Most of the artwork appearing in the photographs is by Cleve Gray and consists of drawings, paintings, and sculpture arranged by medium. Among them are destroyed paintings, and an original print of Photo Abstraction by Gray, circa 1934. Of particular note are photographs of preparatory drawings for Threnody, the work in progress, and completed panels. Other artists represented are: Louise N. Grace, Jacques Lipchitz, John Marin, Hans Richter, and Jacques Villon. 

Photographs of people are mainly portraits of Gray, and views of him with Francine and their family. Among these are one of the family with their infant son, Thaddeus, by Irving Penn; a portrait of Gray at about age three (a modern copy print); and other portraits of him by Cornelia Lavin, Alexander Liberman, Frances McLaughlin-Gill, and Nancy Tutko. Other individuals pictured are Hans Richter and some of his descendants. Photographs of places consist of Gray's studio.

Events are an unidentified exhibition opening and miscellaneous subjects are exhibition installations.
