Abstract:	We report on 3mmλ-VLBI observations of Sgr A* with an array of three antennas. A brief discussion of calibration precedes our results as it is the most important problem to overcome in high frequency continuum VLBI measurements. Our size estimates of Sgr A* are consistent with past results but cannot improve on them. However, calculation of the closure phase (sum of interferometric phases around a triplet of antennas) does yield direct information on the possible asymmetry of Sgr A*. In our observations we find the closure phase to be consistent with zero which restricts to some extent the type and degree of asymmetry that Sgr A* can exhibit.
