    Brian, It's not clear from your post (and maybe not clear from the
    gallery) whether they are refusing to return your unsold works or
    placing you in line as a creditor to collect money from works that
    HAVE sold.  I would expect those to be 2 pretty different things. 

    Being in the States, I'm not clear on NZ law.  But it would be
    logical to expect that you would have all of your unsold pieces
    themselves returned as they are NOT the property of the gallery
    (depending on how your contract reads, of course).  Collecting on the
    proceeds, however, sounds iffy at best, but is worth a try.  Here in
    the states there are different "classes" of creditors when a company
    declares bankruptcy, and their priority is determined by law. 

    Definitely Get A Lawyer! 

Best luck,
