Sabrina lands on Roosevelt Island?

Sabrina (or a compelling replica of the sculpture) has apparently found a home on Roosevelt Island, that tiny sliver of land smack in the middle of New York City’s East River.

The sculpture is located on the grounds of The Octagon, a landmark refurbished and converted into a condominium complex. The inquisitive Roosevelt Island resident that happened upon Sabrina has done the research on the sculpture’s history and connected all the Amherst dots back to Bruce Becker ‘80, the condominium developer, (and even linked to Brian’s post on Sabrina’s 2005 reunion appearance here) and notes the coincidence with Amherst’s own Octagon.

I am assuming that this Sabrina is indeed a replica, but please leave us a note in the comments if you can add to the story of Sabrina’s new home.
