Probably, as I prefer the standard dictionary one.
>Monetary value? You mean money laundering?
I also mean the traditional art buying public, before the 70s when modern random figures came into the picture, when money laundering wasn't needed and money laundering laws and checks where almost or entirely non-existent. Did Peggy Guggenheim and other such figures do it for money laundering?
>Critics and art audiences: totally no "opinion monopoly" or manufactured consent at play, right?
As opposed to the non-manufactured consent or opinion plurality of Joe Random?

It is funny while postmodernism is all about deconstruction and questioning existing values, social structures and authorities, when its authorities are questioned by an outsider, it becomes so defensive...

Not that funny in this case, since this has nothing to do with "postmodernism".
The artists that did those things we discussed were peak modernism. Dada/surealism (Duchamp), or nouveau réalisme (Klein) for example, and of course the entirety of data, lettrism, etc. have nothing at all to do with postmodernism.
In fact post-modernism, both when taken as a critical stance and as an artistic theory, was precisely against modernism (that those artists represented).
Probably, as I prefer the standard dictionary one.
