MTA Metro-North Railroad recently completed major renovations at two stations on the Hudson Line—Peekskill and Croton-Harmon—that include the installation of new, site-specific art work at each location. Both stations received much-needed upgrades to platforms, canopies, staircases, and overpasses.

Artist Joy Taylor created “Jan Peeck’s Vine” for the Peekskill Station, which serves 1,400 customers each weekday. This work translates natural forms into steel sculptures that echo structural elements of the existing station, but frees them to run riot in a flowing, whimsical vine overhead. Elements of this sculpture recur in the two Peekskill monograms atop the elevator entrances and in railing inserts on the northbound platform.

At Croton-Harmon, the busiest station on the Hudson Line serving 3,700 customers each weekday, artist Corinne Ulmann’s laminated glass panels present a series of landscapes depicting views of Croton trees passing through the seasons. The imagery of the work pays tribute to the Hudson River School painters and their establishment of the romantic landscape.

"Jan Peeck's Vine," a series of steel sculptures by Joy Taylor, decorates the roofline of MTA Metro-North Railroad's Peekskill Station.
