Every art historian will tell a different story of the postmodernist era, including or excluding some of it's manifestations and estimating it's chronology. There is no one timeline, only a degree of consensus. If that was true for all other art movements before the modern era it has become almost completely subjective on contemporary art. Since Hegel's (teological) postulate of the End of History, many authors (Arthur Danto, Walter Benjamin) have expanded on the subject proclaiming the end of Art. Consequentially, if you subscribe to the idea, all that prevails is the plurality of particular and ephemeral arts with no historical relevance...
Because of this profound paradigm shift (and because it is all too recent), the linear narrative approach of History is unfit to grasp it's complexity. It is my personal opinion that a chronological approach to contemporary art (or postmodernism) is the wrong approach. Instead try to focus on each of it's singularities, without conforming them to a contrived artificial timeline.
It would take a great amount of space to properly answer this question. I must therefor direct you to the links below.
