An exact conformal field theory describing a black hole in two-dimensional space-time is found as an SL(2,{ital openR})/U(1) gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model. For {ital k}=9/4, the conformal field theory can be regarded as a classical solution of the same system that is probed in the {ital c}=1 matrix model. The conformal field theory governing the space-time is regular at the Riemannian singularity, but it appears that generic perturbations blow up there. It is argued that the end point of the Hawking black-hole evaporation is the {ital standard} space-time of the {ital c}=1 matrix model, which should be regarded as an analog of the extreme Reissner-Nordstroem black hole of four-dimensional general relativity. The {ital c}=1 model is thus a model of the quantum mechanics of matter interacting with a black hole.
