$K$ band luminosity functions (LFs) of three, massive, high redshift clusters of galaxies are presented. The evolution of $K^{*}$, the characteristic magnitude of the LF, is consistent with purely passive evolution, and a redshift of formation $z_{{\rm f}} \approx 1.5-2$.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
