you are absolutely right in this.
from what little i've seen of the inner workings of the "art world" [and by "art world" i mostly mean the ny gallery scene/venice biennale type stuff]:
movement, shmovement! bullshit marketing. it's all about selling work, and if a critic picks up on an "ism" and the galleries get behind it... it goes in the history books.
if you talk this way in yr art history class you will fail.... you might be able to get a professor to go so far as admit that the "cult of personality" surrounding an individual artist is more important than "movements" ...but neatly packaged "isms" are what the university art history departments make their living on.
