Others are permanent works of odd beauty commissioned by open-minded clients (see Claude Cormier's neon-pink Lipstick Forest for Montreal's Palais des Congrès) or those looking to make a lasting statement - like the fountain memorial to Princess Diana in London's Hyde Park by Kathryn Gustafson and Neil Porter.
