Minimum bid is the reserve.Emile Norman grew up with a club foot on a San Gabriel Valley walnut farm.[2][4] From an early age he exhibited artistic talent, carving his first sculpture from a riverside rock at age 11,[4] – ruining his father's chisels, but also gaining his respect.[4][5] From 1946, Norman lived and worked at his studio-home in Big Sur on Pfeiffer Ridge with his partner Brooks Clement, until Clement's death in 1973 from cancer.[6] In 2008, actors Michael Tucker and Jill Eikenberry met Norman, purchased land from him in Big Sur, became his neighbors and his close friends[4] – eventually taking five years[7] to produce a PBS documentary, Emile Norman: By His Own Design. Having moved in with Norman in 2003,[8] long-time friends Jeff Mallory and C. Kevin Smith had discovered movie film shot by Norman's partner Brooks Clement on a hand-cranked 16 mm Bolex, footage that was eventually incorporated in the documentary.[9]
