Alexandra,
The gallery gets paid for work performed such as selling the painting, negotiating the sale, providing wall space, advertising and other things like these. Their high commision is predicated on the fact that not all the art will sell. When they send a piece back, the business contract for that piece is ended. They were not able to perform their required function. They are not owed any fee. In such a case you owe nothing to the gallery unless it is specifically stated in your contract that any such after return sales are commissionable.
