Zima Blue
The story of an artist who works in a color named for him and has progressed from small to star-sized installations; concludes with the final piece of his career and reveals his mysterious past; the story's animating idea is the common-enough concept of a robot that has far surpassed its original role, but Reynolds takes it to greater lengths and handles it with especial style.
