French novelist and essayist Pierre Assouline talks about Anselm Kiefer on his blog:

As often with Anselm Kiefer, his paintings, sculptures and installations are haunted, rather than inspired, by poetry and literature, considering he dedicates 60% of his work to make books with pages of lead. We would not be surprised to learn that the different "houses" that constitute this astonishing exhibit are dedicated respectively to Celine's Journey to the End of the Night (phantasmagoric exhibit composed of 30 ships on 30 canvases) to Paul Celan and to Ingeborg Bachmann. His symbolism of destruction, obsessed by the war the Third Reich delivered to the human genre, summons its usual materials, lead, oil, wood, clay, stone, rust, acrylic, branches, metal, emulsion, photography, sunflower seeds, as the imposing exhibition catalogue shows, faithly to the spirit and to the word by the care of Jose Alvarez, [the exhibition's] curator.

Obviously, it's in French.
