Victor Babu (Albanian-American, b. 1936 - d. 2019) This piece was acquired while Victor was teaching at the University of Texas.
Victor Babu received both his BFA and MFA from the New York State College of
Ceramics, Alfred University, Alfred, New York. He began his teaching career in
the ceramics department at the University of Texas, Austin. He left Texas in 1968
at the invitation of his Alfred graduate student mentor Ken Ferguson to join the
faculty of the Kansas City Art Institute. Together, and with George Timock’s help
beginning in 1973, they built the ceramics program at KCAI into one of the top
undergraduate programs in the United States. Babu retired from KCAI in 2001.
