    you mean you leave anything in a gallery for more than a few months?
    do you know about over exposure/customer resistance, which may
    account for: 

>     ...with some galleries I notice several pieces are not on display. 

    customers build up blind spots after seeing items more than a few
    times - they no longer even see them on display. 

    how about putting the onus on the galleries for perhaps selling other
    artists' work because they know you'll wait - and wait - and wait.
    after 3 months send a correct-sized, self-addressed, return postage
    paid, untaped/flat box to the gallery asking them to send back your
    item[s]. include a form with a digital photo of your item[s] they had
    in their gallery at the top for the gallery to fill in the date,
    stock no. of item[s] not sold -, list the date[s] you left the
    item[s] in their business, the selling price, etc. in future, include
    a time limit and terminal date in the artist-gallery agreement/form.
    if the gallery develops an attitude about the added info tell them
    with your schedule it is in the interest of both parties that items
    can be easily accounted for. 

good luck -
