Hi everyone,

    I am currently enrolled as a jewellery major and am doing a Visual
    Arts Professional Practice course for the theory component this
    semester.  I am faced with a project including giving a lecture on a
    certain topic.  The topic I've come up with is entitled (by myself)
    "Artwork on Consigment in galleries and the protection of artists
    and their work in the case of bankruptcy, theft, and incomplete or
    damaged return of work."  Now, I'm sure all of you have heard or had
    experiences with consignment in galleries, and some have had
    exceptionally bad experiences with the galleries going under and
    losing work, or money, or something being stolen and the artist not
    being reimbursed.  Or, stock being returned to the artist in
    exceptionally bad condition, or not having all the stock returned. 
    I would like to rally everyone's help in finding articles and
    stories on these issues, whether they be personal or of someone
    else.  If you have a personal story, I would really appreciate
    images of the work or gallery that was involved, and of yourself if
    possible (for the sake of visual aids in a rather serious lecture). 

    If any one knows any laws (across the world, really) protecting
    artists in these situations, please let me know.  I have until
    Tuesday the 23rd of March to research as that is the day I present
    this lecture. 

    Thank you so much.  Please email me directly on szitaos AT hotmail.com 

    Catherine Chandler 

    p.s.  If you wish to remain anonymous I will completely honour that.
