Google News shows some articles in '04 and '06 in NYT, Philadelphia Inquirer, St. Lois Post Dispatch, a few others. Coverage appears to have been limited. That does seem odd. Whatever the full story, the statue itself is beautiful.

"Contrary to the claim of the eRumor, the announcement of the intended memorial as well as its dedication did receive nationwide news coverage including a visit to New Jersey on September 15, 2005, by Russian president Vladimir Putin for the groundbreaking ceremony."
