Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme
Jan - Feb 1938, Galerie Beaux Arts, Paris
It was organised by the French writer André Breton, the surrealists' brain and theorist, and Paul Éluard, the best known poet of the movement.
The catalogue listed, along with the above, Marcel Duchamp as generator and arbitrator (to appease the partly fierce conflicts mainly between Breton and Éluard), Salvador Dalí and Max Ernst as technical advisers, Man Ray as head lighting technician and Wolfgang Paalen as responsible for the design the entrance and main hall with "water and foliage".
Galerie Beaux-Arts was run by Georges Wildenstein, at 140, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris.
