I am trying to Query Posts for which the author is different from the author of the page where the view is shown. Is there any way to do this?

Hello,

There isn't such a built-in feature within Views, you might consider custom codes, for example, add below codes into your theme file functions.php:

add_filter('wpv_filter_query', function($query, $settings, $views_id){
	if($views_id == 123){
		if(isset($query['author'])){
			$author_id = $query['author'];
			unset($query['author']);
			$query['author__not_in'] = $author_id;
		}
	}
	return $query;
}, 99, 3);

Please replace 123 with your post view's ID
