@ i_monk – unfortunately it's not uncommon for agencies to have this attitude. They feel that they earned the client relationship, the work came from their studio, and the people working at said agency are merely capable bums warming seats.
I'll echo what others said about checking anything you may or may not have signed regarding self promotional rights. If you're in the clear, ask the agency if it's cool to show the work, so long as you use your own images and give proper credit. If they say no way jose, then you can (1) go along with that or (2) decide it's a bridge worth burning for the sake of your career. Because at that point they really have no legal recourse. I mean, they could sue you, but they probably wouldn't because it's expensive and their case wouldn't hold up in court, not at least in the U.S.
