England’s Floating Art Island!

Wow Factor at Watermill
Watermill tends to be one of most pleasant art benefit of the summer: good temperatures, six acres of performance art, lots of cotton t-shirts, flip-flops, and an offering of pretty good auction items. Here are some highlights: Best performance piece: Ryan McNamara’s dramatic self-burial Runner-up: Andrey Bartenev’s costume. The Russian artist has been pretty consistent with his garb over the years. Power artist cameos: Cindy Sherman (having her dinner next to Klaus Biesenbach), Josephine Meckseper, Richard Phillips, Ross Bleckner Editorial powers: Bob Colacello (who’s currently working on a new Nancy Reagan book), Cecilia Dean, and Stefano Tonchi Most tanned: Rufus Wainwright Biggest upset: Simon de Pury wearing jeans during the auction portion!
