- Jean-Claude and Christo summed up Darboven's art as follows: "We wrap things, buildings and landscapes - Hanne Darboven time."
- Work from an important creative phase. He created key works with historical and contemporary references such as "Bismarckzeit" 1978, now in the Kunstmuseum Bonn, and "Kulturgeschichte 1880 - 1983", now in the DIA Art Foundation in New York
- Reflection on contemporary history and one's own standpoint in the flood of information and the contradictions of the postmodern world
