We present a study of the decay sequence J/ψγX, Xγρ0, ρ0π+π-, based on 5.8 × 106 produced J/ψ collected by the Mark III detector at the SLAC storage ring SPEAR. In the γρ0 mass spectrum, we find two peaks with masses and widths consistent with the axial-vector mesons f1(1285) and f1(1420) that have recently been observed in two-photon collisions. Fits to the angular distributions confirm that the first peak is an axial-vector state, but are unable to distinguish between the f1(1420) or the pseudoscalar η(1430) for the high-mass peak. Product branching fractions for both objects are presented.
