1999 is an exhibition of works produced by Luis Cruz Azaceta (Havana, 1942), during the twelve months preceding the turn of the millennium. The exhibition contains thirty-two works, including paintings, sculpture, assemblage, drawings, and photographs. It is Azaceta's second one-person exhibition at CAC, the first having taken place in 1993. Azaceta has made New Orleans his home since the early 1990s, and could be the city's most internationally renowned contemporary visual artist. However, despite gallery and museum shows throughout Europe as well as North and South America, not to mention five one-person exhibitions at Arthur Roger Gallery in the past decade, Azaceta's work is not widely known in his adopted city.
