Sea creatures have figured in art since ancient times. This summer, the Robert Mann Gallery in Chelsea will display 29 photographs dating back to the 1890s in which fish and other seafood are the focus. The dinner table is often involved, as in this stunner of Picasso by David Douglas Duncan.

“Sleep With the Fishes,” July 8 through Aug. 16, Robert Mann Gallery, 525 West 26th Street, 212-989-7600, robertmann.com.
