The 25 black and white photographs of Real Estate Opportunities frequently include "For Sale" signs, recalling Ruscha's early life as an aspiring commercial artist who "learned sign-painting techniques and painted many commercial signs, including For Sale signs" (Phillpot). Properties pictured, captioned with their addresses, include houses, residential lots and forlorn stretches of barren land whose only neighbors are the telephone poles and roads of southern California.
