Contemporary artist Janet Fish is known for her depictions of commonplace objects, such as liquid filled containers or fruit covered in cellophane, as she believes the subject matter is of secondary importance to the artistic formal elements, i.e. color, light, gesture, and scale. Fish received her MFA from Yale, where she was a peer of several renowned artists including Chuck Close, Nancy Graves, Richard Serra, and Sylvia Plimack Mangold, among others. After graduating in 1963, she moved to New York City and began focusing on her studies of commonplace transparent objects. Her work can be found in numerous collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Art, Boston; the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Cleveland Museum of Art; and the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts, to name a few.
