The committee reviewed the public projects of 45 artists and unanimously agreed to request advanced proposals from four artists: Jim Drain, Mark Handforth, Tobias Rehberger and Gary Webb. The committee met and unanimously recommended Rehberger's lighthouse and the mayor and city council approved the project a year ago.

Rehberger conceived a special gateway to Miami Beach at its most southern point. His 55-foot Obstinate Lighthouse is created as an accumulation of nineteen staggered parts, topped by an installation of moving lights at its peak.
