A program to search for luminosity evolution of giant elliptical galaxies at high redshift has been begun at 2.2μm. Observing at infrared wavelengths offers the possibility of avoiding large and uncertain K corrections at redshifts near 1. First results of this program are in agreement with conclusions drawn from much larger optical studies, and demonstrate that luminosity evolution may be present.
