Colonnes de Buren (or) Les Deux Plateaux



I am so inspired by this early 90's image of Anne Kursinski and Top Seed from the Paris Grand Prix in the early 90's.

There is a black-and-white striped oxer (triple bar?) in the background that caught my attention: It was inspired by Daniel Buren!  Did the artist himself make this fence?

I have challenged myself to locate a clearer photo of the "Colonnes de Buren" or "Les Deux Plateaux" obstacle.  Any assistance will be gratefully appreciated!
