I suggest having a look at David Carroll's book "Paraaesthetics" 
which offers an interesting reading of Foucault on art and 
literature alongside Lyotard and Derrida. In fact, in his chapters on 
Lyotard and Derrida he directly addresses the question of whether art 
can be 'truly' radical etc. Carroll ties together the problem of 
art being `art' in terms of its limits, its designation or 
definition and the apparent paradox implicit in Lyotard's notion of 
the postmodern as anterior to the modern- or in the case of Derrida 
the (im)possibility of art transgressing its `frame'.
