Stripes of different colors, which are always exactly 8.7 cm wide and applied to a wide variety of shapes and materials, are considered Buren's trademark, for example in an action for the exhibition Position - Proposition with the Konrad Fischer Gallery in Düsseldorf in 1968 on a site fence . Buren mainly works in public spaces, but also receives commissions from international institutions for large-scale installations .

Other works by Buren are the floor in Wolfsburg Central Station or the accessible work of art Les Deux Plateaux (1985/1986) with 266 truncated columns of different heights in the courtyard of the Palais Royal (Paris) ; There are also works by the artist in the LWL State Museum for Art and Cultural History in Münster . Buren designed the stops on line 2 of the tram in Mulhouse in Alsace, which went into operation in 2006. In 2013, Buren designed the tallest structure in Saxony at 301.8 m , the chimney of the Chemnitz thermal power station . In Lyon he created a grid of squares, water and light on the floor of the Place des Terreaux . In Bilbao , his work Arcos rojos / Arku gorriak (Red Arches), executed in 2007, won the competition to better integrate the Puente La Salve into the overall concept of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao .

In 2010, at the Haus der Kunst in Munich , the conceptual art exhibition Less is More. Pictures, objects, concepts from the collection and archive of Herman and Nicole Daled, 1966–1978 showing twelve large, early stripe pictures by the artist from the 1970s. These had "rested" in a sports bag with the collector couple. In 2010, in the synagogue (Stommeln) in Stommeln , he showed multiplications by mirroring the interior. In 2011 the exhibition Daniel Buren took place in the Kunsthalle Baden-Baden . Allegro Vivace instead. On the occasion of the 5th Monumenta in 2012, he immersed the Grand Palais in Paris in an unreal light using hundreds of colored circles. In 2016/17 he provided individual partial areas of the twelve sails representing the glass roofs of the Louis Vuitton Foundation with one color each and with gray and white stripes.
