Biographical / Historical Note
Sylvia Sleigh Alloway (1916-2010), known professionally as Sylvia Sleigh throughout her career, was a noted realist painter,
curator, and feminist. Welsh-born, she was active primarily in the New York City area where she lived, along with her husband,
art critic Lawrence Alloway, from 1961-2010. Sleigh's paintings of nude males in traditional odalisque poses remain her best-known
works.
Born Sylvia Margaret Sleigh in Llandudno, Wales on May 8, 1916, she was raised by her maternal grandmother in Hove, Sussex.
Her parents separated early in her childhood. Her mother, Katherine Cancedda, moved to Africa, and later to France, remarried
two times, and had three more children. Sleigh's relationship with her mother was strained throughout her life and she had
virtually no contact with her half sisters. Sleigh's father, John Sleigh, lived continuously in England and maintained a pleasant,
yet somewhat distanced relationship with Sleigh.
Sleigh was an enthusiastic artist and painter during her childhood and attended the Brighton School of Art in Sussex, England.
She became a seamstress and dressmaker and eventually opened her own shop in Brighton. In 1941, she married local artist and
art history lecturer Michael Greenwood, moving with him to London. Their marriage lasted thirteen years, during which Greenwood
and Sleigh often lived apart—Sleigh in Pett and Greenwood in London. Her relationship with Greenwood and proximity to the
art world helped reignite her love of art and she began to pursue painting professionally.
In 1944, while taking night classes in art history at the University of London, Sleigh met Lawrence Alloway, then 17 years
old. Thus began a close friendship and, later, romantic relationship that would result in the two marrying immediately upon
Sleigh's divorce from Greenwood in 1954. Often unhappy in her relationship with Greenwood, Sleigh found a true partner in
Alloway. Concurrently, Alloway was beginning his own foray into the world of art criticism and greatly encouraged Sleigh's
career. He begins appearing as a model in Sleigh's paintings in the late 1940s.
Sleigh's first documented participation in a group show was in 1950; her first solo exhibition was in 1953 at the Kensington
Art Gallery in London. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, her work consists primarily of still lifes, landscapes, and portraits.
In 1961, Alloway accepted a teaching position at Bennington College in Vermont and he and Sleigh moved to New York City. The
city would remain their primary residence for the rest of their lives. From 1962 to 1966 Alloway was the curator of the Guggenheim
and Sleigh continued to pursue painting.
During the 1960s, Sleigh began the theme in her work that is perhaps best known today—male nudes in traditional female poses
as seen in paintings by old masters such as Velasquez and Ingres. For example,
Philip Golub Reclining (1971) plays on Velasquez's
Rokeby Venus. Her work challenged traditional conventions of the female nude. Sleigh worked almost exclusively with models she knew well
and with whom she had personal relationships. She sought to humanize her nudes by treating them as women historically had
not been, as individuals. In
The Turkish Bath (1973) Sleigh uses Ingres' painting of the same name as a vehicle to portray five men she respected and cared for: art critics
Lawrence Alloway, Scott Burton, John Perreault, and Carter Ratcliff with two images of her frequent model Paul Rosano. Sleigh's
professional breakthrough, which coincided with the burgeoning feminist movement, happened early in the 1970s when her nudes
began to garner more attention. In 1973 the
Village Voice declared that, "The nude portrait and nude male portrait by a woman artist is one of Sleigh's strongest accomplishments.
Invention of any new genre is never exact, but occurs within a context; in this case, feminism and art history."
Life in New York City in the 1970s proved to be fertile ground for Sleigh's beliefs and talents as she became more active
in the feminist movement. She was a founding member of the Soho20 Gallery, an all women, artist-run gallery, in 1973 and was
a member of Artists in Residence (A.I.R.) Gallery, another all-women artist-run gallery from 1974-1978. Sleigh continued her
promotion of women artists for the rest of her life, assembling a large collection of contemporary women artists' works. Close
friends and associates included May Stevens, Lucy Sallick, Maureen Conoor, Rosemary Mayer, and Dottie Attie.
In addition to her painting and activism, in the 1970s and early 1980s Sleigh held several temporary teaching positions at
the New School for Social Research, Queens College, and State University of New York at Stony Brook. In 1977, Sleigh was awarded
the Edith Kreeger Wolf Distinguished Professorship at Northwestern University.
Alloway's health declined throughout the 1980s, due to a neurological disorder, until his death in 1990. Sleigh continued
to create new work and pursue new projects throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. In the 1980s she worked on a series of
portraits of women artists, and in the 1990s returned to her theme of classical nudes with male subjects. For approximately
twenty years, Sleigh worked on a large-scale, ten-panel piece,
Invitation to a Voyage (1970-1999) which was exhibited in several one-woman shows as well as in a retrospective of her work at the Hudson River
Museum.
On October 24, 2010 Sleigh passed away after suffering a stroke in New York City.

Processing History
The collection was rehoused by the Registrar's Office upon receipt in 2004. Additional material received in 2010 and 2012
was rehoused by Maggie Hughes in 2011 and 2012. The entire collection was processed, arranged, and described by Maggie Hughes
in 2012 under the supervision of Andra Darlington.
Seven boxes of additional material received in 2018 (ADD5) were integrated into the collection by Kit Messick in 2020 in boxes
140-143.
Twenty additional boxes received in 2018 (ADD4) are unprocessed and cannot be made available until processed due to conservation
concerns.
With the exception of the women artists' announcements in Series VII.B., the arrangement scheme for the collection was imposed
during processing in the absence of a discernible original order.
Scope and Content of Collection
The papers of noted Welsh-born feminist painter Sylvia Sleigh date from 1803-2011, with the bulk of the materials dating from
1940-2000. The archive documents her life, career, and the larger context of contemporary feminist art, concentrated in the
New York City area-- her primary residence beginning in 1961. The papers are comprised of correspondence with family, friends,
and colleagues; project files relating to exhibitions of Sleigh's work; documentation of Sleigh's and others' work; writings
and lectures by Sleigh and others; files concerning Sleigh's involvement with women artist organizations and cooperatives;
teaching files; printed matter in the form of clippings, ephemera, and publications; and personal material, including photographs,
legal, and financial documents.
Correspondence in Series I is of both a personal and professional nature. The vast majority of material is incoming correspondence,
from others to Sleigh; there are few outgoing letters. A significant portion is from close family and friends. There are
several linear feet of letters from Sleigh's first husband, Michael Greenwood. Please see the Lawrence Alloway papers (accession
no. 2003.M.46) for more correspondence from the same years between Sleigh and her second husband, Alloway. Daily letters were
exchanged between both Sleigh and Greenwood, and between Sleigh and Alloway during the years that Sleigh was in relationships
with both men. Correspondents that were both colleagues and friends of Sleigh's include Eleanor Antin, Helene Aylon, Ada and
Alex Katz, Bibi Lencek, Rosemary Mayer, Sabra Moore, Lucy Sallick, Rhea Sanders, Nancy Spero, May Stevens, and William Stipe.
Other noted correspondents include museums and galleries with which she worked such as Deson Gallery, G.W. Einstein Company,
Inc., Hemingway Galleries, Milwaukee Museum of Art, Smart Museum of Art, and Zaks Gallery; and publications she was involved
with such as
Womanart and
Visual Dialog. It should be noted that the majority of correspondence that relates to specific exhibitions or organizations can be found
in files within Series II. Projects and Series V. Women artist organizations and cooperatives. Correspondence-related material
includes Sleigh's address books; addresses and mailing lists; very early and personal correspondence belonging to her and
her extended family dating from the late nineteenth century and Sleigh's youth; letters written by Sleigh's father to Sleigh's
grandmother during World War I; and Michael Greenwood's personal correspondence.
The project files of Series II relate to projects Sleigh was involved with including both exhibitions of her work and exhibitions
she curated, and spans her entire career. Exhibition files include all solo and group shows documented in the collection,
amounting to over 150 shows beginning in 1950s England and continuing mainly in the United States from 1961-2010. Documents
relate to the planning, curating, and execution of Sleigh's exhibitions. Major exhibitions include
Sylvia Sleigh: An Invitation to a Voyage and Other Works (1990),
An Unnerving Romanticism: The Art of Sylvia Sleigh and Lawrence Alloway (2001), and
WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution (2007-2008). Other projects consist of exhibitions curated by Sleigh including
Realist Painting: People and Objects in Women's Lives (1982),
Color: Harmonious and Discordant (1983), and
Parallel Visions: Portraits of Women Artists and Writers (1999); as well as book, film, theater, and website projects. Among the files are correspondence, diagrams, ephemera, exhibition
catalogs, exhibition lists, fliers, pamphlets, photographs, press releases, schedules, audio recordings, and shipping and
transportation records.
The art documentation files of Series III are comprised primarily of records of the works of art Sleigh produced and the processes
by which she produced them. Among the files are inventories, subject and form descriptions, slides, photographs, negatives,
and storage and transportation records. Photographs include preparatory studies for works and photographic documentation of
her paintings. A small amount of material relates to the artistic practice of others and consists of photocopies, photographs,
sound recordings, and slides of their work and resumes.
Among the writings and lecture files of Series IV are Sleigh's appointment books and calendars, files that document lectures
given, original manuscripts, notebooks containing a wide variety of topics, brief notes, and writings by others. Main topics
are the quotidian, art in general, and Sleigh's works. Material consists of appointment books, calendars, correspondence,
ephemera, inventories, manuscripts, notebooks, notes, poetry, and audio and video recordings.
The women artist organizations and cooperatives files of Series V relate to those with which Sleigh was involved in New York
City in the 1970s and 1980s and includes Artists in Residence (AIR), Soho 20, Women's Caucus on Art (WCA), and others. The
subjects of feminism, women artists, equality, and contemporary art are documented through correspondence, schedules, minutes,
notes, publications, ephemera, and audio recordings.
The teaching files of Series VI are comprised of supporting material that document the various short-term art teaching positions
Sleigh held such as those at New School for Social Research and Northwestern University. Files contain correspondence, ephemera,
attendance records, and notes.
The printed matter files of Series VII contain clippings about Sleigh, art, and other topics of general interest to Sleigh;
ephemera primarily related to art exhibitions includes posters, postcards, catalogs, fliers, brochures, press releases, and
announcements; and publications such as newspapers and magazines about art, culture, and current events. Discrete files of

Sleigh maintained these files of women artists' ephemera. They have been kept as is here, and not integrated with other ephemera
in the collection. Therefore, artists represented here will frequently have material in the general ephemera file as well.

the ephemera dates to the later 1970s and early 1980s.
