Sylvia Sleigh’s monumental work Invitation to a Voyage: the Hudson River at Fishkill, 1979-99, composed of 14 separate canvases, each 8 x 5 feet, is a panorama of the Hudson River peopled with art world figures and individuals significant to Sleigh’s life. This work was first inspired by a train trip that Sleigh took to Albany, where she was struck by the beauty of the Hudson and Bannerman’s Castle on Pollopel Island in the middle of the river. Prior to her trip the artist Barnett Newman instructed Sylvia to sit on the left side/river side of the train so she could see Bannerman's Castle.
