I just looked at your art punk list, and the ones bolded are all explicitly post-punk, and I'm sure many of the others could be argued to be post-punk as well, like Television and Pere Ubu.
Art Punk
1. Television - Marquee Moon
2. Wire - Pink Flag
3. Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance
4. The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour
5. Cardiacs - On Land and in the Sea
6. Public Image Ltd. - First Issue
7. Flipper - Gone Fishin
8. Brainiac - Hissing Prigs in Static Couture
9. Patti Smith Group - Wave
10. MX-80 Sound - Out of the Tunnel
This list is unnecessary.

Actually, at one point or another I've seen ll of these labeled as post-punk. Post-punk=art punk.
But then again, there's stuff like Parquet Court's Monastic Living, No Age's Weirdo Rippers, and Whatever Brains' __LP (2012) that can't really be labeled as post-punk but art punk/experimetal punk works well enough. I say if you really want to see one that doesn't fit on the post-punk list put it in wild card.
