'Maria' was the robotic 'heroine' of Fritz Lang's film 'Metropolis' (1927), one of Paolozzi's favourite films. In the 1990s Paolozzi made several variant portrait studies of her in plaster and bronze; some versions of which featured in the installation Paolozzi made for 'Spellbound', the Hayward Gallery exhibition (1996) about relationships between art and cinema. A bronze Artist's Copy and a plaster and wood version of 'Maria' are, or were until recently, in the sculptor's estate.
