Gotfryd, Alex. Appointment in Venice by Alex Gotfryd.

Doubleday, 1988. First edition in hardcover, fine with fine protected dust jacket.  43 plates with Gotfryd’s mysterious monochromatic photographs in Venice, Italy, of a woman in black, portrayed by a beautiful model, Lynn Kohlman.  The photos are based on a recurring dream of the photographer and he and Kohlmann went to Venice to recreate it in a cinematic sequence, shot during a November when the city was enshrouded in fog. A fine example of the “directorial mode” genre of photography.
