For those who love contemporary art, this Saturday's Watermill Center Benefit Gala (aka The Best Event of the Entire Summer) is a must, if only for their spectacular selection of silent and live auction items. This year, works include a "crystal pillow" installation from Marina Abramovi? (opening bid: $20,000), a birchwood chair by Robert Wilson (opening bid: $14,000), a seascape photograph from Hiroshi Sugimoto (current bid: $2,400), and dozens of other collectable works. For those not attending in person, the entire auction catalogue is now available online for early bidding. [Previously, Curbed Hamptons]
