“Pwn is a leetspeak slang term derived from the verb own, as meaning to appropriate or to conquer to gain ownership. The term implies domination or humiliation of a rival, used primarily in the Internet-based video game culture to taunt an opponent who has just been soundly defeated.”

I can Maybe see art dealers enjoying humiliating each other in a childish way like this, but not artists. Nowadays artists normally respect each other's contribution - there's enough room for every perspective not to demean each other. (This was not always the case. Leonardo once said Botticelli's trees looked so bad they must have been made by throwing a sponge at the canvas - but he was Da Vinci.)
