Gary Bernstein; Bernie Taupin - Burning Cold - 1978-1978

Burning Cold, published by Harmony Books of New York in 1978, is a rare and distinctive photographic volume created by American photographer Gary Bernstein with texts by the famous British author and lyricist Bernie Taupin, best known for his historic collaboration with Elton John.
The book presents a series of color photographs devoted to the female figure, accompanied by Taupin's poetic prose. The work blends glamour photography, portraiture, and artistic nude in an editorial project typical of the late seventies.
Burning Cold is considered one of Gary Bernstein's early important books. The same Penn State University, presenting Bernstein in 2013, described the volume as an important photographic book of his, produced with Bernie Taupin's prose and Kay Sutton York's photographs, and noted that the work was sought after by collectors.
