This Auction includes The YELLOW NAUGA & the BUMPER STICKER & The GROUP PHOTO
The Bumper Sticker refers to the fact that a visitor died when she got hit by an umbrella flying in wind.....
This Particular Nauga visited the 1991 CHRISTO Yellow Umbrellas in the Hills of California back in 1991. And did survive .....
He was invited there by BYRON WERNER but they were mine and I took this Photo but BYRON clearly inspired it. NAUGA in good condition but I took close up of feet and belly age wear included in listing pics. A buyer in NAGASAKI Japan bought all the rest seen in the photo .... if you are out there ........; The Umbrellas, Japan–USA, 1984–91 was a 1991 environmental artwork in which artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude erected yellow and blue umbrella structures in California and Japan, respectively. The 3,100-umbrella project cost US$26 million and attracted three million visitors. Christo closed the exhibition early after a woman was crushed by a windswept umbrella in California. Separately, a worker was killed during the deconstruction of the Japanese exhibit.
Marketing
An advertising campaign showing the fictional Nauga character, which has a vinyl hide.
A marketing campaign of the 1960s and 1970s asserted humorously that Naugahyde was obtained from the skin of an animal called a "Nauga".
The claim became an urban myth.
The campaign emphasized that, unlike other animals, which must typically be slaughtered to obtain their hides, Naugas can shed their skin without harm to themselves.
The Nauga doll, a squat, horned monster with a wide, toothy grin, became popular in the 1960s and is still sold today.
