Commissioned art is owned by the person who paid for it, not the one who created it. The artist has no rights to the piece and actually can not even show it publicly without the clinet who paid for the piece's permission. An often over looked fact of creative ownership. You pay for it you own it.

edit: The client however can not claim they created the piece and in a public showing has to acredit the artist some where in print if I recall correctly.
