More details to this question:
Signed a 2 year contract with a gallery owner May 2019 who was going to sell artwork from my mother in laws estate. He has the paintings. He hasn't responded to letters, texts, emails, or phone calls. People who worked for him sent me an email stating that he had sold several of the sculptures which he owed me for and that they were leaving the gallery. The contract states that he will contact me every 30 days and send me a check every 30 days. He finally, after I contact others in the gallery, sent me part payment last December. I have not heard from him since despite my continuing to reach out to him.

The terms of your written contract should direct any reporting the gallery is supposed to provide to you on any sales. To the extent you are not getting the information you are entitled to under the agreement, you might consider hiring a lawyer to review the agreement, assess options, and potentially contact the gallery on your own behalf. Consider hiring a lawyer who would do that on a reaosnable flat fee basis.
