However, in 1925 his work also appeared in the first exhibition of the surrealist group at the Galerie Pierre in Paris. (When Arp spoke in German he referred to himself as "Hans", and when he spoke in French he referred to himself as "Jean". Many people believe that he was born Hans and later changed his name to Jean, but this is not the case.)
