Love Field’s makeover of public art makes air travel glamorous again
hen I flew out of Love Field last summer for the first time in more than a year, I immediately knew something was different. Of course, I was aware of the renovations that have been going on for several years; what I didn’t realize was how far they had come. Now, Love Field — the charming “neighborhood” airport with commuter flights and easy access that has been a lightning rod for controversy around its epic battles with American Airlines and the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport — was up and running … and looking remarkably like the Galleria. Not only where there many stores and a lovely, wide-open concourse, but shops of all kinds — including the restaurant Sky Canyon by Stephan Pyles — dot the area behind the TSA line. (More on that later.) While there is still some work to go (the baggage carousel area won’t be completed until 2014, just in time for the Wright Amendment to expire), Love Field is a haven at present not just for travelers and shoppers, but something else: interesting public art.
