    Hi Brian, I have had experiences with bankrupt accounts and
    consignment items, but I don't think you'll like what I have to say. 
    First, did you get your unsold work back?  If so, consider yourself
    lucky and be thankful that the gallery owners were honorable enough
    to return the work before closing their doors. Otherwise the items
    would probably have been secured by the owners' bank. 

    As for money owed for for goods sold, in the law's eyes you ARE a
    creditor. It could be different in NZ than in the States but I doubt
    it. Once sold, consignment items are no different from purchased
    items.  You don't own them any more and all you're entitled to is
    payment for them, which makes you just another creditor.  I'm afraid
    you're out of luck.  Sorry!  I do sympathize -- I've been there. 

Beth
