I believe you mean Structurist (not Structure). It has been published
annually since 1961, initially under the editorship of Eli Bornstein of the
University of Saskatchewan. It was at the time the leading international
organ of the structuralist movement in art, focusing on geometric
abstraction. Bornstein coined the term “structurist reliefs” in the first
issue to define his own three dimensional geometric abstractions.
Apparently you are referring to the first three numbers, which would be quite
scarce, and worth keeping (these early numbers are most important art
historically) , but if your library sees no point in keeping them, they should
probably be made available to another ARLIS member institution. OCLC
indicates 50 annual numbers published through 2010.

ARLIS folks:
I recently received a donation of three volumes
of a modern-art and -architecture magazine titled Structure, published in
Amsterdam and edited by people at the University of Saskatchewan. I have the
first three years; they seem complete but are physically in shaky condition. Can
someone tell me how significant it was? Should I think about keeping
it?
Thanks, and greetings to all. I'm new at this
job.
