Dash Snow Polaroids.

Snow ran away from home and began living on the streets at 13 or 14, and began taking photographs, he said, as a record of places he might not remember the next day.

The artist’s photographic work is in a thematically similar mode to photographers Nan Goldin, Larry Clark, Ryan McGinley and Richard Billingham, often depicting scenes of a candid or illicit nature. Instances of sex, drug taking, violence and art-world pretentiousness are documented with disarming frankness and honesty, offering insight into the decadent lifestyle associated with young New York City artists and their social circles.

Snow died on the evening of July 13, 2009 at Lafayette House, a hotel in lower Manhattan.His grandmother Christophe de Menil was quoted as saying that he died of a drug overdose. A New York Times article commented that Snow “met a junkie’s end but did so in a $325-a-night hotel room with an antique marble hearth.
