The Watermill Center, Robert Wilson's artistic laboratory in the Hamptons, is known for incorporating unusual elements into its annual benefits, and in 2007 the night began with a live-action take on the logo-filled photo backdrop, which had actors in frog costumes holding signs with sponsors' names. “We've never had a step-and-repeat before, and we thought that if we had that, it had to be our own version,” said Watermill Center public relations and special events manager Natascha Theis. Artist Andrey Bartenev designed the installation.
