Dash Snow: I Love You, Stupid! is a raw and unfiltered visual diary of the late New York artist’s brief but incendiary life. Published in 2013 by D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, this monograph compiles Snow’s infamous Polaroid photography, which captured the reckless hedonism, excess, and underground energy of his world.
Through 430 color reproductions, the book chronicles scenes of late-night debauchery, fleeting moments of intimacy, and a visceral immersion into the subversive art scene Snow inhabited. His work—often depicting friends, drugs, sex, and urban decay—blurs the line between self-documentation and performance, embodying the raw, fleeting intensity of youth.
Snow, a descendant of the Menil art dynasty and grandson of Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman, gained notoriety in the early 2000s alongside artists like Dan Colen and Ryan McGinley. His untimely death in 2009, just weeks before his 28th birthday, cemented his legacy as a cult figure in contemporary art. This volume serves as both a tribute and a haunting record of a life lived on the edge.
