For those in the bay area, there is a great origami store in japan town called the paper tree which I highly recommend. Last time I was there they had some truly amazing pieces on display including many of Lang's insects and sculptures as well as a ryujin 3.5 designed by satoshi kamiya.

You've hit upon some of my favorite pieces. Any of Lang's opus pieces are amazing (I really like the rock climber that sticks out of a piece of paper).

Satoshi Kamiya's works are also pretty darn amazing (the wizard, the dragons, etc.).

Lang really brought out the science in origami (he's en ex-rocket scientist turned origami pro), and wrote software for calculating the fold patterns and extraction points from paper for pulling out points of manipulation (like limbs, etc.)
