What are Khosrow Salehi’s Spanish Riding School limited edition prints?

Khosrow Salehi’s limited edition prints present scenes inspired by the Spanish Riding School, one of Europe’s oldest classical riding institutions, founded in 1572. Salehi, an Iranian-born Austrian artist, is known for his expressive figurative style, and these prints capture the elegance of Lipizzaner horses and their riders. Each print is produced in a restricted run, often between 75 and 300 copies, which adds scarcity. The works usually show white horses in motion, riders in traditional uniforms, and the baroque setting of Vienna’s Hofburg. Collectors often note the soft, layered brushwork and muted colour palette, which contrasts with the precise movements of the horses. Salehi signed many editions by hand, and some include numbering such as “23/150,” marking its place in the edition. These prints gained attention during the 1990s and early 2000s, a period when Salehi exhibited widely across Austria. Prices have ranged from a few hundred euros to over €2,000 depending on size, rarity, and condition.
