Damien Hirst Away" in 1994 at the Serpentine Gallery in London, where he exhibited "Away from the Flock" (a sheep in a tank of formaldehyde). On 9 May, Mark Bridger, a 35-year-old artist from Oxford, walked into the gallery and poured black ink into the tank, and retitled the work "Black Sheep". He was subsequently prosecuted, at Hirst's wish, and was given two years' probation. The sculpture was restored at a cost of £1,000. When a photograph of "Away from the Flock" was reproduced in the 1997 book by Hirst "I want to spend the rest of my life everywhere, with everyone,
Where Is the Green Sheep? count objects." and concluded "..this bedtime story is as satisfying as a goodnight kiss." "January Magazine"', in its review, wrote "..this book is .. aimed squarely at children, though it is a surprise for those who know the artist's other work to see her mark on this book.", and described it as "a joyous romp through the lives of sheep" and"a perfect book for bedtime reading with your toddler". "Where is The Green Sheep?" appears on the School Library Journal Top 100 Picture Books List and the New York Public Library 100 Great Children's Books of the Last 100 Years
