OVATION TV GIVES VIEWERS A BEHIND-THE-SCENES TOUR OF THE ART WORLD WITH THE PREMIERE OF "ART BREAKERS" SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4

New Original Series Stars Powerhouse Art Advisors Miller Gaffney and Carol Lee Brosseau; Mario Lopez Guest Stars in Premiere Episode

SANTA MONICA, CA - August 26, 2015 Ovation TV, America's only arts network, takes viewers inside the high-stakes, high-priced world of art collecting with the premiere of its new original series, Art Breakers. The four-part series features two of the top art advisors in the country, Miller Gaffney and Carol Lee Brosseau, on their quest to find the hottest artists, commission show-stopping works, and help their clients find the perfect piece of art that will not only bring joy to their lives, but also be a wise investment. Art Breakers is set to premiere October 4 at 8 pm ET, only on Ovation TV.

In each episode, former sorority sisters Miller and Carol Lee tackle a new business challenge to accommodate their clients' eclectic tastes and sometimes bizarre requests. Whether it's soliciting a spiritual connection for a quirky client, decorating the New York City office of the millionaire owner of an Australian juicing empire, or finding an artist to create an original work inspired by TV star Mario Lopez's new tequila brand, these undaunted pros are the art world's best matchmakers.

Here are the highlights of each episode:

Art Breakers Episode 101 - "COMMISSION CONTROL" Premieres Sunday, October 4 at 8pm ET Carol Lee and Miller are hired by TV star Mario Lopez to find a fine artist to create an original work, inspired by Mario's new brand of tequila.

Art Breakers Episode 102 - "VEGAS VIBES" Premieres Sunday, October 11 at 8pm ET A wealthy and eccentric Las Vegas couple calls in Carol Lee and Miller to help replace the distasteful art that came with their lavish home.

The Art Breakers have to search high and low to quickly create a collection specific to the couple's unique vibe.

Art Breakers Episode 103 - "ART FROM THE OUTBACK" Premieres Sunday, October 18 at 8pm ET Joe Cross, the millionaire owner of juicing empire "Reboot with Joe," hires Carol Lee and Miller to fill the walls of his new office in New York City, but throws them some curveballs when he insists that the collection represent his home country of Australia - and that they find the perfect pieces to hang in the office restroom!

Art Breakers Episode 104 - "NO BUDGET REQUIRED" Premieres Sunday, October 25 at 8pm ET Miller meets up with a New York City millionaire looking to invest in one new piece, no matter the cost.
