Excerpt: The first big representation of his works took place in 1927 in the Viennese Secession, 30 oil paintings by Boeckl where shown in own room. After that he and his family mainly lived in Vienna and he worked in a studio in the Argentinierstraße 41. In 1935 Boeckl was appointed as a professor on the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, after 1938 he signed all of his works with Boeckl instead of Böckl.
