# *Tone* Group exhibition · Sep 30, 2026 – Jan 3, 2027 · on view Roy DeCarava, Glenn Ligon, Kerry James Marshall, Lorna Simpson and others Drawings, paintings, photographs and sculpture by nineteen artists who build images through black-and-white tonal gradation rather than line. Drawn from the museum’s collection, the show gathers drawings, paintings, photographs and sculpture by nineteen artists, among them Roy DeCarava, Gordon Parks, Ming Smith, Lorna Simpson, Glenn Ligon, Kerry James Marshall and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye. What links them is a reliance on the scale of grays between black and white, rather than line, to give an image its form and rhythm, a principle the show traces back to the earliest surviving photograph, Nicéphore Niépce’s View from the Window Le Gras (1826–27). It is organized by Jayson Overby Jr. Full details: [studiomuseum.org](https://www.studiomuseum.org/exhibitions/tone) ## At [The Studio Museum in Harlem](https://onview.so/manhattan/the-studio-museum-in-harlem.md) Museum in Harlem, New York City. - Address: 144 West 125th Street, New York, NY 10027 - Hours: Wed–Sun 11–6, Fri to 9 - Website: https://www.studiomuseum.org - Directions: - On the map: https://onview.so/manhattan/map/the-studio-museum-in-harlem --- On View's listing, as of Tuesday, October 13, 2026.
