On the Tuesday, December 4, 2007, CASOL hosted a private art event at the iconic Ristorante Buonanotte in Montreal, Canada — one of the city’s most celebrated restaurants and supper-clubs of the 1990s and early 2000s, renowned for its Italian elegance, vibrant nightlife, and distinguished clientele.
The evening opened with the presentation of seven significant paintings by Maryse Casol:
Violon Éternel, Rêveries, Melodia Gitana, Cerisiers en Fleurs, Fado Romantique, Roses et Lys, and Murmure de Cithare.
Conceived as a journey to the Mediterranean Sea, these works offered an atmosphere of light, music, and color. Guests also explored the 2002 collection featured in the CASOL art book, along with Maîtres et Épigones by Sam Aberg — both available at the time at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts boutique and major bookstores such as Renaud-Bray.
The ambiance was enhanced by soulful house and R&B music with a DJ, fine Italian wine, elegant hors d'œuvres, exotic flowers, and the renowned hospitality of the Buonanotte team. Among those attending were Gary and Grace Oberman, Michael and Yolanda Page, lawyers Pierre Saint-Aubin, Piero Biasini and Nicolas Forest of BCF, athlete Nordine Taleb, fashion designer Xochil Lilas, and international model Daniel Bernard.
This refined evening also marked a personal chapter in the Casol story. Earlier that year, Mickaël Casol — son and art dealer of Maryse Casol — had graduated from the HEC Montréal business school. The months that followed included travels through France with Desjardins to visit banks in Paris and Strasbourg, time with family, explorations of the French Riviera in the summer, and a spirited weekend trip to New York City with friends in September.
To bring a meaningful close to a year of growth, creativity, and discovery, Mickaël — alongside his fiancée Noriko Emen — organized the Maryse Casol exhibition at Buonanotte. The result was a night where art, culture, and community came together, marking a memorable moment in the evolving legacy of Maryse Casol.
