John Stringer

Born in Melbourne in 1938, John Stringer studied at Caulfield Technical College and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. From 1958 to 1960 he was an assistant in the print department at the National Gallery of Victoria where he subsequently worked as Exhibitions Officer. In 1970 he moved to New York where he was Assistant Director, International Programme, at the Museum of Modern Art.

He has produces both relief (masonite cuts and linocuts) and intaglio prints (etchings, engravings and drypoint on both metal and perspex).
