Agency Contact : Claire Keller-Scholz at 253-305-1003 or clairek@tacomaparks.com for questions regarding the condition of this item or to make a viewing appointment or to discuss pick up.

Description : Up for auction are molded sculptures by Hungarian-Canadian sculptor Elek Imredy (1912-1994). The piece for sale in this lot is "Alligator" which originally sat alongside a Never Never Land walking trail. Sculpture has some sign of wear. The material used for these figures is hand painted cast composition.

This piece is part of the "Never Never Land" collection. Never Never Land was a storybook walking trail in Tacoma's Point Defiance Park that first opened in 1964. The "wooded wonderland" attraction ultimately closed in 2001 after constant vandalism and theft proved too challenging to manage in a cost effective manner. The collection has been in storage since Never Never Land closed, and while many pieces were lost during a fire in 2011, a few figures survived. This piece and others like it are fine examples of Tacoma history and are expressions of familiar nursery rhymes from Mid-century American childhood.
