Visionary artist and theatre guru Robert Wilson hosted the extraordinarily artsy Inferno: The 16th Annual Watermill Summer Benefit at the Watermill Center, attracting over 1,000 guests to the blazing and mesmerizing evening.

It was dress to impress for the “Flaming” dress code—with guests Iman and David Bowie, Bianca Jagger, Harvey Keitel, Jeff Koons, Marina Abramovic, Richard Meier, Annie Leibovitz, Zac Posen, Bob Colacello, Alan Cumming, Laurie Anderson, Isabella Rossellini, Kim Cattrall, Lou Reed, Carrie Fisher, William Dafoe, Steve Buscemi, Rufus Wainwright, Calvin Klein, Philip Glass, Nicole Miller, Nacho Figueras, Eric Ripert, Roger Waters, Ross Bleckner, Christophe de Menil, and Christopher Makos, among others, being treated to a unique experience of excitement, temptation, attraction, provocation, and seduction—which put everyone in a great giving mood as $1.4 mil was raised in support of the Center’s art programs.
