"The Time Is Always Now" exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London continues until May 19th. Among the featured artworks is "Vanishing Point 26" by British artist Barbara Walker, owned by Jill Wolf and her partner Farrol Kahn.

Farrol Kahn shared their excitement about exhibiting their piece: "My partner and I were thrilled to introduce a touch of Saanen to the renowned National Portrait Gallery in London. Our artwork was selected by the curators for this exhibition, which showcases 22 artists of black descent."

Interestingly, the connection to Saanen goes beyond the location mentioned in the painting. Kahn explained: "When we relocated from Gstaad to Saanen a few years ago, the first artwork we acquired was Barbara Walker's piece. We playfully named it 'Saanen'. It's incredible to think that we're representing our village in a city of nine million people."

Don't miss the chance to see this remarkable exhibition before it closes on May 19th!
