IGF::IT::IGF X:NOGRN IN-PAINT AND/OR GILDING OF EXISTING INSCRIPTIONS AT THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES MEMORIAL IN PERSHING PARK, WASHINGTON, DC. THE EXISTING FINISHES (PAINT OR GILDING) ARE REACHING OR HAVE REACHED THE END OF THEIR USEFUL LIFECYCLE. THE FINISHES HAVE DETERIORATED FROM GENERAL WEATHERING AND EXPOSURE. THE RESULT IS THAT THE CURRENT APPEARANCE DEVIATES FROM THE ORIGINAL ARTISTIC INTENT; IT ALSO NEGATIVELY IMPACTS THE LEGIBILITY OF BOTH THE TEXT AND GRAPHIC DESIGNS. FULL RESTORATION IS REQUIRED TO INSTALL NEW AND DURABLE FINISHES AND TO REINSTATE THE ARTIST'S ORIGINAL ARTISTIC INTENT.
