Enzo Cucchi opens Milan show with Aleksandra Waliszewska
Published on 08/28/2026 at 16:09 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Enzo Cucchi is on view in Milan in a new exhibition pairing with Aleksandra Waliszewska. As Finestre sull'Arte reports, Enzo Cucchi - Aleksandra Waliszewska opened on June 4, 2026 and runs through September 26, 2026 at Consonni Radziszewski Gallery in Milan.
The Milan pairing
The Milan show places Cucchi beside a younger painter with a very different visual grammar. The gallery describes the project as a dialogue built on the centrality of the image and symbolic systems.
That framing suits Cucchi's practice. His paintings and sculptural works often move between myth, sign, and compressed narrative, which gives the pairing a sharp generational contrast.
What the market says
Cucchi also remains active on the market side of the field. Sotheby's result page lists an Untitled work from 1988 in Contemporary Discoveries with an estimate of 5,000 to 7,000 GBP.
The entry gives the work's material mix in detail: charcoal, pastel, gouache and tree sap on panel, encased in steel structure. It also records the lot as closed on January 23, 2026 at 3:15 PM GMT.
