The 13-foot statue, installed in 1952, is in the hands of Andrzej Dajnowski, director of Conservation of Sculpture and Objects Studio in Forest Park. Dajnowski was hired by the Art Institute of Chicago for what may be the second time the statue has been regilded, Maxey-Faulkner said. She said the Art Institute's records indicate the statue was regilded in 1983 but not when the statue got a new pedestal in 1993. The Art Institute could not immediately comment on that.
