Snow's explicit portrayals of the sexual and drug-taking excesses of his circle created a popular stir, but divided critical opinion.

Benjamin Godsill, a curatorial associate at the New Museum, said Mr. Snow’s work “captures this period bracketed by the fall of the World Trade Center and the fall of the financial system.”
