Post-modernism added that art could be just an idea and that if an artist said something was art then it was. That anything could be art if "an artist" had the confidence to say it was.

Art history may record post-modernism as a product of it's time set in a world where bankers, corporations and even individuals bought and sold imaginary financial products from each other with the value based on the confidence that the product was worth what they said it was worth. Just as the collapse in the financial market showed us that these things could turn out to be worthless, it would seem that is shows us post-modernism greatest works may also be worthless too.
