delighted children and adults alike with the puppets that he created for the American television program
Sesame Street, especially the perennially six-year-old 2.5-m (8-ft 2-in) Big Bird and the woolly mammoth-like Mr. Snuffleupagus. Love's contributions to
Sesame Street—which extended to Oscar the Grouch and Cookie Monster—eventually overshadowed the renown that he earned for the often spectacular costumes, puppets, and other theatrical devices that he fashioned for world-renowned ballet choreographers, notably Agnes de Mille (
Rodeo, 1942),
Jerome Robbins (
Fancy Free, 1944),
Twyla Tharp, and
George Balanchine, with whom he collaborated for some 40 years. Love developed his puppet-making skills for the federal Works Progress Administration theatre in 1935 and later designed costumes for the Mercury Theatre in New York City and the New York City Ballet. He also worked on Kurt Weill's innovative Broadway musical
One Touch of Venus (1943), several films, and American television, including commercial advertisements.
