On Wall Street, few recognized Human Genome Sciences� 2001 annual report as an art book. But rip out the 34 pages of financials, and you�re left with a fine exhibition of the work of artist Ross Bleckner. Based on electron microscope images, Bleckner�s Cell Paintings series is as detailed as the revenue figures, but far more evocative � from Mysticism for Beginners on the cover (center) to Middle Brother (immediate right) in the bowels of the report. �Our research can be abstract and hard to grasp,� says William Haseltine, the company�s founder and CEO. �So we use art to defuse the fear that our work may engender.� And likewise, to convey the beauty behind the genome.
