Now in its 16th year, the annual Watermill Center summer benefit offered guests an evening of unique art and performance this past Saturday. Guests included Calvin Klein, Isabella Rossellini, and Rufus Wainwright, and the center raised $1.4 million for its education programs. Here are some additional images of the benefit not included in columnist Ted Kruckel’s recent dispatch.
