• Binder: Luigi Castiglioni, 2018

• Description: An extraordinary object that captures Boulez’s compositional hand in its full graphic and spatial complexity — a manuscript as musical architecture. As often in Luigi Castiglioni’s work, the binding transcends its traditional role and becomes a true contemporary sculpture in leather and metal, where the binder’s gesture meets that of the visual artist
