As well, he was an artist in residence and teacher at several universities in both Sweden and the United States.

Since 1960 exhibitions of his etched art have taken place in the United States, Britain, Portugal, Macao and Japan. Such major institutions as the British Museum, London, the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, and the Museum of Modern Art, Rio de Janeiro, include his etchings in their permanent collections.
