We would also like to recognize Andrzej Dajnowski, who so beautifully restored the statue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Conservation and restoration to the General Anthony Wayne monument was provided by the Conservation of Sculpture and Objects Studio, Inc. (CSOS). Without having to use any chemicals or air abrasives, CSOS utilized their custom built laser system, using only light to remove the corrosion and old coating from the sculpture, without risk of damaging the surface. The monument was brought back to its original historic patina and received a new protective coating. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In addition to the restoration of the Anthony Wayne monument, the Parks Department, the City of Fort Wayne, and the Courthouse Preservation Trust partnered to improve the northwest corner of Freimann Square where Anthony Wayne sits,&#8221; said Director Moll. &#8220;The improvements included installing new park benches and we&#8217;ll have new lighting soon to highlight the statue. The landscape was also redesigned to create a more open and inviting space for the public to view and experience the monument.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CSOS specializes in the conservation and restoration of art and architecture and is world renowned as the first company to use laser technology for large scale conservation treatments in the United States. The company director, Andrzej Dajnowski, has his Doctoral degree in laser cleaning works of art. His son, Bartosz Dajnowski, has an MS in art conservation science and he designed and built the laser system that was used to clean the Anthony Wayne statue.
